Detroit Street Map Poster

Detroit’s street map is unusual among American cities: its downtown follows a spoke-and-hub plan drawn up after the fire of 1805, with avenues radiating from Campus Martius like the ribs of a fan. This printable city map captures that distinctive geometry, with Woodward Avenue cutting straight north as the city’s main spine, the Detroit River curving along the southern edge toward the green island of Belle Isle, and the historic blocks of Corktown sitting just west of downtown.

Beyond the radial core, the map opens into the long grid that stretches toward the neighbourhoods of Midtown and beyond, giving a street map of Detroit a layered, layered-in-time character you can read at a glance. As a minimalist line drawing it becomes striking, graphic wall art that nods to the Motor City’s design heritage.

It is a fitting print for a proud Detroiter or anyone drawn to the city’s comeback story.
