Charles River bend
The river forms Allston's northern boundary, curving past the Harvard fields, with bridges linking it to Cambridge on the far bank. It gives the top of the map a smooth, natural edge.

The map
About this Allston map poster
Allston sits on the south bank of the Charles River in Boston, and from above it looks like several street systems joined together. The river curves along its northern edge. The Massachusetts Turnpike and its rail corridor run east to west across the middle, and Commonwealth Avenue forms a broad line along the southern side, with side streets branching off it.
The neighbourhood has long been home to students and young renters, and it is known for the yearly turnover of leases at the start of September, when furniture lines the pavements. Harvard University has built its Allston campus along the riverbank, including its business school and athletic facilities. On a map, that area shows up as larger blocks and open ground beside the tighter residential streets.
An Allston map poster keeps all these layers in one view: the river, the highway, the avenue and the dense triple-decker streets between them. With colour removed, the joins between these systems become the main subject. You can see where the old street grid stops and where later infrastructure was built straight through it.

Turnpike corridor
The Massachusetts Turnpike and the railway run beside each other across the neighbourhood as a wide band. The residential blocks on either side show clearly how far the road cuts in.
Commonwealth Avenue
This wide avenue, with the tram running down its centre, marks the southern side of Allston. Shorter residential streets branch off it in closely spaced rows toward the north.

Why Allston
A map that means something
For many people Allston is the place where they lived as students, took their first flat or started out in Boston. A map of those streets is a quiet way to remember that time, and it tends to mean most to people who have since moved on.
You can add a title, a subtitle such as a year or an address, and the coordinates line, then pick one of five styles: Classic black & white, Noir, Paper, Blueprint or Sand. It comes as a $9 HD download or as a printed poster, framed if you like.
