The map
About this Greensboro map poster
Greensboro lies in the rolling Piedmont of North Carolina. Its map combines a compact downtown grid with leafy neighbourhoods whose streets curve around creeks and gentle slopes. North of the city, a chain of reservoirs, Lake Brandt, Lake Higgins and Lake Townsend, stretches across the landscape as long, branching water shapes surrounded by greenways and woods.
The city holds a significant place in American history. In 1960 four students from North Carolina A&T sat down at the whites-only lunch counter of the Woolworth store on Elm Street, starting a sit-in movement that spread across the South. The building now houses the International Civil Rights Center and Museum. In 1781 the Battle of Guilford Courthouse was fought on the city's northwestern edge.
Interstates 40 and 85 run together along the south of the city, and the newer Urban Loop circles much of it. A Greensboro map poster shows these highways framing campuses such as UNC Greensboro and North Carolina A&T, the downtown blocks and the tree-lined residential streets that make up most of the city.
