Aurora City Map Poster

About this print

Aurora map poster

Aurora sits on the high plains at the eastern edge of the Denver metro area, a city that grew outward across open prairie with the Rocky Mountains visible on the western horizon. For anyone who lives there now, grew up there, or once called it home, a street map is a quiet way to keep the place close: the grid of neighborhoods, the long arterial roads, the parks and reservoirs that break up the pattern of blocks.

This print renders Aurora in the Watercolor style, a soft, painterly look that trades hard lines for washes of color. The effect is relaxed rather than technical, which suits a living room, hallway, or home office where a map is meant to be looked at for pleasure. It sits comfortably alongside photographs and other artwork without demanding attention, and the loose color gives the city's sprawling layout a gentle, almost organic feel.

Aurora is a large and varied city, home to people from many backgrounds and to the Anschutz Medical Campus, and it means different things to different people: a first apartment, a family house, a commute, a place to start over. A map of it can mark any of those chapters. It also makes a thoughtful gift for someone moving away from Colorado or settling in for the first time. The poster is decorative art made to be enjoyed on a wall, not a tool for finding the way. Choose the option that fits the space from the selections listed on this page.
