The map
About this Detroit map poster
Detroit's map begins at the river. The Detroit River forms the southern edge of downtown, with Windsor, Ontario, directly across the water, and Belle Isle sitting mid-stream to the east. From that waterfront, major avenues, Woodward, Gratiot, Grand River and Michigan, spread outward like the spokes of a wheel.
That pattern comes from Judge Augustus Woodward's plan after the fire of 1805, which proposed a system of circles and radiating streets. Only parts were built, and fragments survive around Grand Circus Park and Campus Martius. Beyond them, a vast grid of residential streets extends for miles, cut through by freeways.
Detroit is known worldwide as the Motor City and as the birthplace of the Motown sound. A Detroit map poster shows both sides of its story: the diagonal avenues of a nineteenth-century plan and the broad grid built during the automobile era.

Belle Isle

Ambassador Bridge
The suspension bridge to Windsor crosses the river southwest of downtown, a thin line connecting two countries on one map.

Why Detroit
A map that means something
Detroit inspires strong loyalty, from people who grew up in its neighbourhoods to those who returned to help rebuild it. Its radial streets make one of the most recognisable city patterns in North America.
