The map
Aylmer lies on the north shore of the Ottawa River, west of central Gatineau and across the water from Ottawa. It was a town in its own right until 2002, when it merged into the city of Gatineau. On the map its southern edge follows the shoreline of Lac Deschênes, a wide section of the Ottawa River, while its streets extend north towards the Gatineau Hills.
The old village core stands close to the water near the marina, with a main road running east towards Hull and downtown Ottawa. Around it, later suburban development shows up as looping crescents and cul-de-sacs, very different in texture from the straight early streets by the shore. Golf courses and wooded areas add large open shapes to the plan.
The town was named after Lord Aylmer, governor of Lower Canada in the 1830s. An Aylmer map poster sets the curve of Lac Deschênes against the grid of the old village and the looping suburbs beyond, a clear picture of how the place grew back from the water.
The Ottawa River widens here into a broad lake. Its shoreline forms the long southern edge of the map, with the marina and waterfront parks along it.
The early streets near the water are straighter and closer together than anything around them, marking where the original settlement began.
Newer neighbourhoods to the north are built from curving streets and cul-de-sacs, giving that part of the map a soft, looping pattern.

Why Aylmer
Aylmer is a place people come back to for its shoreline and its quieter streets on the edge of the capital region. A print of the lake and the old village is a fitting reminder for residents, cottage visitors or anyone who has moved away.
Choose your own title and subtitle, perhaps a street or wedding date, and adjust the coordinates. Styles include Classic black & white, Noir, Paper, Blueprint and Sand.
