Lincoln City Map Poster

About this print

Lincoln map poster

Lincoln is a city laid out with a plainness that rewards a second look. As Nebraska's capital, it is anchored by the State Capitol, whose tall tower rises above a grid of streets that stretches out toward the surrounding prairie. The University of Nebraska–Lincoln gives the city much of its energy, and on fall Saturdays the town turns red as fans head to Memorial Stadium. Nearby, the brick warehouses of the Haymarket hold restaurants, shops and the steady comings and goings of downtown life.

This print presents Lincoln's street map in the Overprint style, a bold graphic treatment that approaches the city's layout as a piece of design rather than a reference document. It is meant for walls, not for finding a way across town, and it holds up on its own terms whether or not the viewer knows every block by heart.

It suits someone who studied at the university, raised a family in one of the city's neighborhoods, worked near the Capitol, or simply keeps a soft spot for the place. A Lincoln map can mark a graduation, a move away, a move back, or a long stretch of years spent in one home. Hung in an office, a hallway or a first apartment in another city, it keeps hold of a place that tends to stay with people long after they leave. It also gives visitors an easy reason to ask where a favorite story happened.
