Buffalo City Map Poster

About this print

Buffalo map poster

Buffalo sits at the eastern end of Lake Erie, where the Niagara River begins its run north toward the falls. This print captures the city as a street map in the Classic style, a clean, timeless look that suits a living room, office, or hallway as easily as it suits a dorm wall or a first apartment. It is made to be looked at and enjoyed rather than used for directions, a piece of decorative art built around a city with a strong sense of itself.

Few American cities wear their history as openly as Buffalo. Its grain elevators, its grand early twentieth-century architecture, and its park system designed by Frederick Law Olmsted all speak to a place that grew big and confident on the Great Lakes and the Erie Canal. It is also a city known for long winters, lake-effect snow, chicken wings, and fiercely loyal Bills and Sabres fans. People who grew up there tend to carry it with them wherever they go, and people who moved there often find it hard to leave.

That is what makes a Buffalo map a meaningful thing to hang. For someone who has moved away, it can be a daily reminder of home and the neighborhoods that shaped them. For a current resident, it is a way to show some hometown pride in a style that stays quiet and considered. It also makes a thoughtful gift for a graduate of one of the local colleges, a new homeowner, or anyone who has spent good years along the lake.
