Where grid meets mountain
The regular street grid stops sharply at the foot of the San Gabriel Mountains. The contrast between straight blocks and irregular slopes is the defining feature of the map.

The map
Azusa lies at the northern edge of the San Gabriel Valley, where the flat grid of Los Angeles County meets the San Gabriel Mountains. The map shows that meeting clearly. Streets run in a regular pattern across the valley floor and then stop abruptly against steep, contoured slopes, while the San Gabriel River comes out of its canyon on the city's eastern side.
Foothill Boulevard, part of historic Route 66, crosses the city east to west. Azusa is also home to Azusa Pacific University, and the Metro A Line runs through town, with stations downtown and near the university. Just beyond the edge of town, the canyon road leads up into the Angeles National Forest.
An Azusa map poster captures a rare urban edge. The orderly grid, the broad gravel-lined riverbed and the sudden rise of the mountains appear together in one frame, showing a city on the line between valley and wilderness.

The river leaves its canyon on the city's east side and runs south in a wide channel. It forms a strong vertical band through the composition.
Part of historic Route 66, the boulevard runs east–west through the city. It is one of the clearest lines crossing the grid.

Why Azusa
Azusa means different things to different people: a university town, the old Route 66 stretch, a home at the foot of the mountains. A map of its streets and slopes keeps all of that in one calm image.
