The map
About this Jakobstad map poster
Jakobstad, or Pietarsaari in Finnish, is a coastal town in Ostrobothnia on the Gulf of Bothnia. Most of its residents speak Swedish as their first language. The town was founded in 1652 by Ebba Brahe and named after her late husband, the military commander Jacob De la Gardie. From above, a regular town plan sits beside a complicated coastline of bays, inlets and low islands.
North of the centre lies Skata, one of the best-preserved districts of wooden houses in Finland. It is made up of narrow streets lined with painted timber homes that once belonged to sailors and workers. The centre follows a rational grid of wide streets. Toward the sea, harbour basins, industrial sites and the offshore archipelago draw the line work outward into the water.
A Jakobstad map poster places that orderly grid next to an irregular shore. Straight streets meet a coastline that the slow rise of the land after the Ice Age is still reshaping. Small islands scatter across the sea side of the sheet. The result is a balanced composition that suits the town's calm Nordic character.

Town-plan grid
The centre is laid out in regular rectangular blocks. This gives the map a strong, legible core that contrasts with the organic coastline around it.
Bothnian archipelago
Low islands and skerries lie offshore. They break the water into many small shapes and extend the composition out to sea.
