Oakland City Map Poster

About this print

Oakland map poster

Oakland sits on the eastern shore of San Francisco Bay, a city of hills, port cranes and neighborhoods with strong personalities of their own. It has long been a place people feel fiercely attached to, whether they grew up there, moved there for work or school, or simply fell for its mix of waterfront, downtown blocks and green slopes rising toward the East Bay hills. Lake Merritt, the tidal lagoon near the center of the city, is a familiar gathering spot, and the street grid spreads out from there toward the bay and the hills.

This print presents Oakland's street map in the Neon Night style, a design treatment built around glowing lines set against a dark background. The effect leans toward the feeling of a city after sundown, when streets read as bright paths and the overall pattern of the place comes forward. It suits a room with a bit of attitude, from a living room wall to a studio, office or entryway, and it pairs well with darker or more modern interiors.

As a gift, it works for someone who just moved to Oakland, someone who left and still talks about it, or someone who has called it home for decades. It is meant as decorative art, a way to keep a city close rather than a tool for getting around it. The Oakland, Neon Night edition offers a way to bring a little of the East Bay's character indoors and give a familiar map a different, after-dark mood.
