Austin City Map Poster

About this print

Austin map poster

Austin is a city people tend to carry with them. It is the capital of Texas, built along the Colorado River where the land begins to rise into the Hill Country, and it has long been known for live music, a large university campus, and a downtown that keeps growing upward. Lady Bird Lake runs through the middle of town, lined with trails where runners, walkers and paddlers share the water's edge, and the city's neighborhoods each have a character of their own, from older bungalow streets to busy commercial corridors.

This street map poster gathers that sprawl into a single piece of wall art, drawn in the Overprint style. The design treats the city's grid and its winding river-shaped edges as pattern and color rather than as directions, so the print reads as a portrait of the place instead of a tool for getting around it. It is meant to be looked at and lived with, not navigated by.

For someone who went to school in Austin, moved away from it, or just moved there, a map of the city can hold a lot of quiet meaning: the route to a first apartment, a favorite swimming hole outside town, late nights on a crowded street, mornings by the lake. It also suits anyone who simply likes the look of a city laid out in lines. Hung in a hallway, an office or a living room, it offers a steady reminder of a particular place in Texas and the time spent there.
