Pittsburgh City Map Poster

About this print

Pittsburgh map poster

Pittsburgh is a city shaped by water and hills. The Allegheny and Monongahela rivers meet at the Point to form the Ohio, and the neighborhoods that grew up around them climb steep slopes, cross deep hollows, and connect by a remarkable number of bridges. The street grid bends and breaks to follow that terrain, which gives a map of Pittsburgh a character unlike flatter, more orderly cities. This print presents Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania as a street map in the Cartouche style, a design approach that treats the city's layout as something worth framing and looking at closely.

For anyone who has lived in Pittsburgh, the city's geography tends to be part of daily life: the inclines up Mount Washington, the tunnels that open suddenly onto a view of downtown, the way a short distance on a map can mean a long walk uphill. A street map captures some of that feeling without needing a single photograph. It works as a reminder of a hometown, a college city, a place where a family put down roots, or a city visited once and remembered well.

The poster is meant as decorative art for a home, office, or gift rather than as a guide for getting around, and it sits comfortably alongside other prints or on its own. It suits someone who feels a connection to Pittsburgh's rivers, bridges, and hillside streets and wants a quiet, considered piece of the city on the wall.
