About this Halifax map poster
Halifax occupies a peninsula on the western side of one of the largest natural harbours in the world. The downtown streets form a grid that slopes steeply from Citadel Hill down to the waterfront, while the narrow Northwest Arm defines the western edge. To the north the harbour narrows and then opens into the broad Bedford Basin.
Two long suspension bridges span the harbour to Dartmouth on the opposite shore, and a ferry links the two downtowns. At the southern tip of the peninsula, Point Pleasant Park forms a large wooded area laced with trails, while the Public Gardens and the Commons provide open spaces close to the centre of town.
Halifax was founded by the British in 1749 as a naval base, and the star-shaped Citadel still commands the hill above downtown. The city is the resting place of more than a hundred Titanic victims, and in 1917 the Halifax Explosion devastated its north end. A Halifax map poster shows the peninsula, the bridges and the harbour that shaped its story.

Northwest Arm
A long, narrow inlet along the western side of the peninsula, lined with parks and waterfront homes, gives the city its distinctive peninsular shape.
Harbour bridges
The Macdonald and MacKay bridges cross the harbour to Dartmouth, drawing two long lines across the water between the peninsula and the eastern shore.

Why Halifax
A map that means something
Halifax draws people from across Canada and beyond for study, the navy and the sea. A map of its peninsula and harbour is a fitting way to remember a posting, a degree or a long connection to the Atlantic coast.
Personalise the title, subtitle and coordinates line with a name or date, and choose from five styles, among them the cool Blueprint and the dark Noir. Digital files cost $9 in six sizes, and printed posters are available on matte paper with an optional frame.
