The map

About this Columbus map poster

Columbus sits in southern Indiana, where the Flatrock and Driftwood rivers join to form the East Fork of the White River. That confluence sits just west of downtown and gives the map its strongest natural line: water curving along the edge of an otherwise orderly street grid. Farmland and newer subdivisions spread out beyond in looser shapes.

The city is known far beyond its size for its modern architecture. Over several decades, buildings by some of the most respected architects of the twentieth century were built here, and professional architecture bodies have ranked the city highly for it. The engine maker Cummins, headquartered in Columbus, played a central role in funding that programme.

A Columbus map poster captures the setting rather than the buildings themselves: the rectilinear downtown, the rail line, the river bends and the bridges that cross them. It suits the city's design reputation to see it reduced to line and space, much as an architect's site plan would show it before anything is drawn on top.

01

River confluence

The Flatrock and Driftwood rivers meet west of downtown to form the East Fork of the White River, a clear, curving counterpoint to the straight streets beside it.

02

Downtown grid

The historic centre follows a tidy rectangular plan of short blocks. It reads crisply at every print size and frames the core of the city's architectural collection.

03

Crossings west

Road bridges carry traffic over the rivers toward the interstate. They are small lines on the map but mark the main gateway into town.

Why Columbus

A map that means something

Columbus draws people who care about design, and a restrained black-and-white plan of the city suits that sensibility. It works as a reminder of an architecture pilgrimage, a hometown print or a gift for someone who has worked at one of its long-standing companies.

Add a title, subtitle and coordinates line of your choice and pick one of five styles: Classic black & white, Noir, Paper, Blueprint or Sand. Blueprint suits a city shaped by architects especially well. Files come as 300 DPI PNG and print-ready PDF.
