Charlotte map poster

Charlotte is a city people tend to grow attached to, whether they were born there, moved for work, or spent a few good years before heading somewhere else. This Cartouche edition captures Charlotte, North Carolina as a street map poster, a quiet way to keep the shape of the city close long after a move or alongside daily life in it.

The Queen City has changed a great deal over the decades, growing from a crossroads trading town into the largest city in North Carolina and a major banking center. Uptown's skyline rises from the old intersection of Trade and Tryon, and around it spread neighborhoods with their own character, from the bungalows and tree-lined streets of older districts to the breweries and murals of newer ones. Light rail now links parts of the city, the Catawba River runs along its western edge, and the Carolina Panthers and Charlotte Hornets give game days their own rhythm. A street map holds all of that in a single grid of lines: the commute that became routine, the street of a first apartment, the long way home on a summer evening.

The Cartouche style is one of several visual designs offered for this city, each produced digitally and meant to sit comfortably on a wall as decorative art rather than serve as a map for getting around. It suits a home office, an entryway, or a living room where friends might stop and ask about it. It also makes a thoughtful gift for a new Charlotte homeowner, a graduate leaving town, or anyone who still calls the city home no matter where they live now.
