Minneapolis City Map Poster

About this print

Minneapolis map poster

Minneapolis is a city shaped by water. The Mississippi River cuts through it, the only major waterfall on the river's entire length tumbles at St. Anthony Falls, and a chain of lakes sits within the city limits, ringed by paths that fill with walkers, runners and cyclists from the first warm days of spring until the snow comes. It's a place of old flour mills turned into homes and museums, neighborhood corner bars, skyways strung between downtown towers, and a deep affection for parks.

This Watercolor edition renders the Minneapolis street map in a soft, painterly style, giving the city's grid and its curving shorelines a gentle, loose feel rather than a technical one. It suits a living room, a study or an entryway, and it sits comfortably beside photographs, books and other art without demanding the whole wall.

The print makes a thoughtful gift for someone who grew up in Minneapolis, moved away and still talks about it, or for someone who has just arrived and is starting to learn the city block by block. Graduates of the university, families marking a first home, couples who met here, and anyone who has spent a summer evening by one of the lakes or a winter afternoon walking across a frozen park may find something familiar in it. It is meant as decorative art and a reminder of a place, not as a map for finding the way around town.
