Long Beach City Map Poster

About this print

Long Beach map poster

Long Beach sits on the southern edge of Los Angeles County, a port city with its own distinct character rather than a suburb of its larger neighbor. Its waterfront is home to the Queen Mary, the retired ocean liner that has been docked there for decades, and the Aquarium of the Pacific. The Port of Long Beach ranks among the busiest container ports in the country, and the city's long shoreline faces a breakwater that keeps the beaches unusually calm for Southern California. Inland, the streets settle into a dense grid of neighborhoods, each with a feel of its own.

This print presents the city's street map in the Cartouche style, a design treatment with an ornamental, old-world sensibility that suits a place with this much maritime history. It reads as a piece of wall art first: a way to keep a familiar street pattern in view, whether that pattern belongs to a hometown, a first apartment, a place where a family put down roots, or a city that left an impression on a single visit.

People who grew up in Long Beach, moved away, or moved there recently often want something that marks the connection without being a souvenir-shop cliché. A street map does that quietly. It works in a living room, a home office, or a hallway, and it makes a thoughtful gift for someone who talks about the city with obvious affection. Like every RadMaps poster, it is meant to be enjoyed on the wall, not used for finding the way around town.
