Curving subdivisions
Residential areas are laid out as loops, crescents and cul-de-sacs rather than grids. The poster is full of rounded, organic shapes held inside the straight lines of the arterial roads.

The map
Centennial is one of the newest cities in Colorado. It was incorporated in 2001 from Arapahoe County neighbourhoods that had long been part of Denver's southern suburbs, and at the time it was described as the largest incorporation in American history. The name comes from Colorado's nickname, the Centennial State, because Colorado joined the Union in 1876, a century after independence.
From above, the city looks nothing like an old downtown grid. Arterial roads such as Arapahoe Road and Dry Creek Road run in long straight lines across a broad grid. The spaces between them fill with looping residential streets, crescents and cul-de-sacs. Interstate 25 and E-470 pass along its edges, and Centennial Airport, one of the busiest general aviation airports in the country, occupies a wide open area.
A Centennial map poster turns that suburban pattern into a surprisingly graphic image. The curving streets form loops and whorls like fingerprints, parks and greenbelts appear as quiet empty spaces, and the highways give the composition a firm frame. It is a map of how a great many Coloradans actually live, and it deserves wall space as much as any historic centre.

This is one of the busiest general aviation airports in the United States. On the map it is a large open area crossed by runways, a clean geometric break in the suburban pattern.
