Oakland City Map Poster

About this print

Oakland map poster

Oakland sits on the east side of San Francisco Bay, a city of hills, flats, and waterfront shaped by its long history as a working port and a place people have chosen to make their own. This print in the Painted Survey style captures the city's street grid as a piece of wall art, a way to keep the shape of a familiar place close at hand.

For anyone who grew up in Oakland, moved there for a job or for school, or left and still thinks of it as home, a street map carries a particular kind of meaning. Lake Merritt, the tidal lagoon near the center of the city, has long been a gathering spot for walks and weekend afternoons. The Oakland Hills rise to the east, and the Port of Oakland, one of the busiest container ports on the West Coast, anchors the waterfront. A map of these streets can bring back commutes, neighborhood corners, and the routes that became routine over the years.

The Painted Survey edition is a visual design style with a soft, layered look that sits comfortably in a living room, a hallway, or a home office. It is meant purely as decorative art rather than a guide for getting around. It also makes a thoughtful gift for a housewarming, a graduation, or a send-off for someone leaving the Bay Area. The available sizes and finishes are listed on this page.
