Houston Street Map Poster

Houston is famously a city without zoning, and its street map reflects that sprawling, freeform character. This printable city map shows Buffalo Bayou winding through the centre past Downtown and Buffalo Bayou Park, the looping freeways and the great ring of Loop 610, and a patchwork of grids that shift angle from one neighbourhood to the next — the tidy blocks of the Heights, the diagonal streets of Montrose, the dense core of Midtown.

That mix of orderly grids and curving bayous gives a street map of Houston a sprawling, organic look quite unlike the rigid plans of older cities. The green expanse of Memorial Park anchors the western side, and the minimalist line style keeps the whole vast network legible and elegant as wall art.

For a born-and-raised Houstonian or anyone who has called the Bayou City home, it makes a personal, graphic print.
