Memphis City Map Poster

About this print

Memphis map poster

Memphis sits on a bluff above the Mississippi River in the southwest corner of Tennessee, a city shaped by the river trade, by music, and by the people who have called it home for generations. This street map poster of Memphis, Tennessee is rendered in the Watercolor style, with soft washes of color that give the city's grid and curving riverfront a gentle, painterly feel rather than the crisp lines of a standard map.

For anyone who knows the city, the pull is personal. Memphis is the home of Beale Street and its long blues tradition, the place where Sun Studio helped launch early rock and roll, and the city where Graceland draws visitors from around the world. It is also a city of barbecue, of neighborhood landmarks that never make the guidebooks, and of everyday routes between home, work, and favorite spots. A map print can hold all of that at once, standing in for the drive along the river or the walk to a familiar corner.

The Watercolor edition suits rooms where a lighter, warmer look fits better than a technical drawing, such as a living room wall, a home office, or an entryway. It makes a thoughtful gift for someone who grew up in Memphis, recently moved away, went to school there, or simply fell for the city on a visit. As decorative art, it is meant to be looked at and remembered by, not used to find the way across town.
