Niagara Escarpment
The escarpment runs through Ancaster, and its edge splits the upper plateau from the valley below. Roads bend and climb where they cross it, adding movement to the map.

The map
About this Ancaster map poster
Ancaster is one of the oldest communities in Ontario, settled in the 1790s and part of the City of Hamilton since 2001. It sits on and below the Niagara Escarpment, west of downtown Hamilton. On the map the brow of the escarpment makes a clear dividing line, with streets on the upper plateau giving way to wooded slopes and ravines as the land drops toward the Dundas Valley.
The old village centre lies along Wilson Street, where early stone buildings still stand. Around it, later neighbourhoods spread in curving crescents and cul-de-sacs, and Highway 403 cuts across the eastern side. Creeks falling from the escarpment create a series of waterfalls, including Tiffany Falls and Sherman Falls, part of the reason Hamilton is called the waterfall capital of the world.
An Ancaster map poster makes the most of this varied terrain. Ravines and conservation areas break the street pattern into distinct pieces, the escarpment edge adds a natural boundary and the older village core gives a clear centre of gravity. It is a more textured map than most Ontario towns produce, with plenty of green space rendered as calm white.

Wilson Street village
The historic main street, with some of the oldest buildings in the region, forms the centre of the community and the line the rest of the town grew around.
Ravines and falls
Wooded creek valleys cut through the area, with waterfalls such as Tiffany Falls and Sherman Falls. They break the streets into separate, clearly defined neighbourhoods.
