Tucson City Map Poster

About this print

Tucson map poster

Tucson sits in a wide desert valley in southern Arizona, ringed by mountains and surrounded by the saguaro-studded Sonoran Desert. It is one of the oldest continuously inhabited areas in North America, and the city still carries that long history in its adobe buildings, its missions and its food. The University of Arizona gives it a college-town energy, while the surrounding ranges and Saguaro National Park on either side of the city make it a place where people tend to spend as much time outdoors as in town.

This print turns the city's street grid into a piece of wall art in the Cartouche style, a design treatment with the feel of an old engraved map title. It suits someone who lived in Tucson for school, moved there for the dry winters, grew up in the shadow of the Catalinas, or simply has a soft spot for the place after a visit. The layout of a city says a lot about how it grew, and Tucson's long, straight roads stretching out toward the desert edges are part of its character.

As a gift, it works well for a graduate, a new homeowner, or a friend who has relocated and misses the monsoon smell after a summer storm. It is meant to be hung and enjoyed as decoration rather than used for finding a route across town. The available sizes and finishes are listed on this page, so it is easy to pick the version that fits the wall you have in mind.
