Washington map poster
L'Enfant's radiating avenues over a numbered grid.
Washington is a drawn capital: a numbered grid, grand diagonals aimed at the Mall, and the Potomac holding the south-west edge.
Shown here in the Blueprint theme. Blueprint is the plan as it was intended. This preview is a live map: in the studio you can drag it to frame the exact area you want, switch between 30 hand-tuned themes, set your own caption, and download it at print resolution.
