Long Beach City Map Poster

About this print

Long Beach map poster

Long Beach sits on the southern edge of Los Angeles County, a city shaped by its long, wide shoreline along San Pedro Bay and one of the busiest ports in the country. The Queen Mary has rested in its harbor for decades, and the city stretches inland from the water through neighborhoods with their own distinct character, from the shops and bungalows of Belmont Shore to the older streets around downtown. It is a place people tend to know from the inside, by the routes they drive, ride, and walk every day.

This print renders Long Beach, California as a street map in the Painted Survey style, a digital design approach that pairs the orderly logic of a survey map with a softer, painterly feel. The result reads as a portrait of the city's layout rather than a guide to it, something to hang and look at, not something to navigate by. The grid and its interruptions, the way streets bend toward the coast and give way to the harbor, become the subject.

For someone who grew up in Long Beach, moved there for work or school, or still thinks of it as home after leaving, the poster offers a quiet way to keep the city close. It suits a living room, a hallway, or a desk wall where a familiar place deserves a little more attention than a pin on a phone map. It also makes a thoughtful gift for a friend or family member with roots in the city, a reminder of the coastline, the port, and the streets that connect them.
