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 downtown to form the Ohio, and the neighborhoods spread out from there across ridges, hollows and riverbanks, linked by a remarkable number of bridges. Streets bend to follow the terrain rather than a strict grid, which gives the city a street map with real character: dense and angular in some places, winding and stacked against the slopes in others.

This poster presents Pittsburgh in the Overprint style, a visual design that treats the city's layout as graphic art. It is a decorative piece, made to hang on a wall rather than to guide anyone across town. For someone who grew up in Pittsburgh, went to school there, or moved away and still calls it home, a street map can hold a lot of memory: the commute over a particular bridge, a first apartment on a steep block, the walk to a ballgame along the river.

The print suits a living room, office or entryway, and it makes a thoughtful gift for a Pittsburgher, whether they still live among the rivers and hills or are carrying the city with them somewhere else. It also sits well alongside other city prints for anyone collecting the places that have mattered to them. The available sizes and finishes are listed on this page, so the choice comes down to where it will hang and who it is for.
