St. Paul City Map Poster

About this print

St. Paul map poster

St. Paul is the quieter half of the Twin Cities, and people who live there tend to like it that way. It is Minnesota's capital, set on bluffs above a bend in the Mississippi River, with the State Capitol on its hill and the Cathedral of Saint Paul nearby. Summit Avenue runs west lined with Victorian mansions. Old brick warehouses in Lowertown have been turned into lofts and studios, and the riverfront and parks give the city plenty of room to breathe. It has a reputation as a place of neighborhoods, where people know their corner bakery and their part of the river.

This print presents St. Paul as a street map poster in the Overprint style, a visual design treatment that gives the city's grid and curves a bold, graphic character. The way the streets bend to follow the river and the bluffs makes for an interesting shape on a wall, even for someone who has never set foot in Minnesota. For anyone who has, the pattern of the roads tends to call up particular memories, like a first apartment, a familiar commute, or a long walk on a summer evening.

It suits a living room, a home office, or a hallway, and it makes a thoughtful gift for someone who grew up in St. Paul, moved away from it, or just settled there. Like every RadMaps print, it is meant as decorative art and a reminder of a place, not a tool for finding the way around town.
