Newark City Map Poster

About this print

Newark map poster

Newark is New Jersey's largest city, and one of its oldest, set along the Passaic River where it bends toward Newark Bay. This street map poster captures the city in the Overprint style, a bold graphic treatment that turns the grid of avenues and the curve of the river into a piece of wall art. It suits anyone who grew up here, moved away, or now calls one of its neighborhoods home.

The city has a strong sense of place. The Ironbound, tucked in the bend of the river, is known for its Portuguese and Brazilian restaurants and busy sidewalks. Branch Brook Park draws crowds each spring for its cherry blossoms. Downtown holds the Prudential Center, the New Jersey Performing Arts Center, and the campuses of Rutgers University–Newark and the New Jersey Institute of Technology. Farther east, the airport and the port tie the city to the rest of the world. For many people, Newark is a commute, a first apartment, a family history, or a ballgame. A map of its streets can hold all of that without saying a word.

The Overprint edition is a digital design style chosen for its graphic character, and it sits comfortably in a living room, office, or entryway. The print works as a gift for a recent graduate, a new homeowner, or someone who keeps a little of Newark with them wherever they live. It is meant to be enjoyed as decorative art rather than used for navigation, a quiet reminder of a city with deep roots and plenty of life.
