The Ganges bank
The river curves along the northeastern edge of the city. Ghats and riverside roads follow its bank, giving the map a clear natural boundary.

About this Kanpur map poster
Kanpur lies on the southern bank of the Ganges in Uttar Pradesh. From above, the river forms a long curve along the city's northeastern edge. The urban area spreads away from it to the southwest, with dense older neighbourhoods near the centre and more open, planned areas further out.
The cantonment, laid out in the colonial period, lies along the river with a looser pattern of roads and open ground. Nearby, the older city has tighter lanes and markets. Major roads, including the historic Grand Trunk Road, and railway lines cut through the city, dividing it into distinct sectors.
Kanpur grew as an industrial centre for textiles and leather. It was also the site of fierce fighting during the uprising of 1857. To the northwest lies the campus of the Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur. A Kanpur map poster shows a city shaped by the river, the railways and its colonial and industrial past.

Cantonment layout
The colonial-era cantonment near the river has wider roads and more open space than the dense old city, making a distinct section on the map.
IIT Kanpur campus
The large campus of the Indian Institute of Technology lies northwest of the centre. Its planned roads and open grounds stand apart from the surrounding streets.
