The island centre
The north and south channels of the Lee enclose Cork's commercial core. On the poster the two waterways frame the densest streets like a pair of brackets.

About this Cork map poster
Cork is Ireland's second city, and its map begins with the River Lee. Just west of the centre the river splits into two channels, and the heart of the city lies on the island between them. On that island, St Patrick's Street sweeps in a long curve, following the line of a channel that was once open water. Bridges cross both arms of the river at short intervals.
North of the river, the ground rises steeply to Shandon, where the tower of St Anne's Church, known for its bells, looks over the city. The south side climbs more gently toward residential districts and the university. The English Market, a covered food market trading since the eighteenth century, sits right in the centre. Downstream, the Lee widens toward Cork Harbour.
A Cork map poster shows a city defined by water: the island centre, the parallel channels, the many bridges and the quays leading toward the harbour. It is intricate and immediately recognisable to anyone who has walked its streets.

St Patrick's Street
The main shopping street follows a pronounced curve over a former river channel. It is one of the most distinctive lines in the city plan.
Many bridges
Road and foot bridges cross both channels, stitching the island to the hills on either side. Their regular spacing gives the map a clear rhythm.
