The map
Fort Collins lies in northern Colorado, where the Great Plains meet the first ridges of the Rocky Mountain foothills. The map reads almost like a diagram: a regular grid of arterial roads with College Avenue running north to south through the middle. Horsetooth Reservoir forms the long western edge, and the Cache la Poudre River curves along the north.
The city began as a military post in the 1860s and grew into an agricultural and university town. Colorado State University's large campus sits just south of Old Town. The historic downtown, with its brick storefronts, is often said to have inspired Main Street, U.S.A. at Disneyland, and Fort Collins is also known for its many craft breweries.
A Fort Collins map poster shows how neatly the city is organised. The square-mile grid, the angled streets of Old Town near the river, the broad block of the campus and the irregular shoreline of the reservoir all fit into one frame. The dark ridge of the foothills closes the composition on the west.
The city's main north-south spine runs straight through the grid, past the university and into Old Town. It is the line most residents use to find their way around.
This long, narrow reservoir sits in a valley behind the first hogback ridge west of the city. Its shape forms a clear natural boundary on the map.
The Poudre winds along the northern edge of Old Town, lined with trails and open space. Its loose curves contrast with the strict grid to the south.

Why Fort Collins
Fort Collins is a city people become attached to, whether through four years at Colorado State, a first home near Old Town or weekends at Horsetooth. The map records the streets and trails that made up those years.
