Sea wall coast
A long sea wall runs along the Atlantic shore and holds back the tide from a city that lies partly below sea level. It gives the map a firm northern edge.

The map
About this Georgetown map poster
Georgetown, the capital of Guyana, sits on the Atlantic coast where the Demerara River meets the sea. Much of the city lies below high-tide level. A long sea wall protects it, and a network of canals and trenches, first dug in colonial times, drains it. On a map this produces an orderly grid of avenues, many with tree-lined central walks where canals once ran.
The city began as a colonial town in the late eighteenth century. Under the Dutch it was called Stabroek, and in 1812 it was renamed after King George III. It is known for its wooden colonial buildings, above all St. George's Cathedral, one of the tallest wooden churches in the world. Stabroek Market, with its iron clock tower, stands beside the river.
A Georgetown map poster shows a capital shaped by water. The sea lies to the north, the river to the west, and drainage lines thread through every district. The regular blocks, the long avenues and the curve of the coast combine into a crisp, balanced composition. It reads clearly in black and white and rewards anyone who knows its streets.

Canals and avenues
Colonial-era drainage canals and trenches cross the city, and several broad avenues still have tree-lined central walks. Together they create the distinctive double lines of Georgetown's grid.
Demerara riverfront
The wide Demerara River forms the western edge of the city, lined with wharves and Stabroek Market. Upstream, the long floating Demerara Harbour Bridge crosses it.
