New Orleans Street Map Poster

There is no other street map in the United States quite like New Orleans. Because the city follows the great curve of the Mississippi River, its streets bend and fan out to stay parallel to the water — earning it the nickname the Crescent City. This printable city map captures that sweeping geometry: the tight, original grid of the French Quarter (Vieux Carré) at the river’s edge, the long oak-lined run of St. Charles Avenue through the Garden District and Uptown, and the radiating blocks of the Marigny and Bywater downriver.

The fan-shaped streets, pinched and splayed by the river’s curve, make a street map of New Orleans endlessly interesting to trace. As a minimalist line drawing it becomes elegant, slightly off-kilter wall art that captures the city’s one-of-a-kind layout.

It is a soulful print for a New Orleanian, a jazz lover, or anyone who has wandered the Quarter at dusk.
