The map
About this Kingston map poster
Kingston spreads across a plain that slopes gently from the foothills of the Blue Mountains down to one of the largest natural harbours in the world. On the map the harbour is the defining feature, enclosed by the Palisadoes, a long, narrow sandspit that carries the airport road and ends at Port Royal. The city fills the land between the water and the hills.
Downtown Kingston follows a regular grid laid out in 1692, after an earthquake destroyed much of Port Royal across the harbour. Further north the pattern loosens around Half Way Tree and New Kingston. On Hope Road stands the former home of Bob Marley, now a museum, and the land climbs steadily toward the mountains.
A Kingston map poster captures the capital's open geometry: the grid by the water, the looser streets uptown and the long curve of the Palisadoes. The harbour takes up much of the frame, a calm expanse against the dense city. It is Jamaica's capital drawn in essential lines.

Downtown grid
The original seventeenth-century street plan by the waterfront is a regular grid of rectangular blocks, the clearest geometric pattern on the map.
Blue Mountain foothills
The land rises to the north and east of the city, where streets become sparse and winding as they approach the slopes of the Blue Mountains.

Why Kingston
A map that means something
Kingston is chosen by people who grew up there, visited or feel a connection to its music and history. The harbour, the grid and the curving spit make a map with a clear and recognisable outline, even from across a room.
Set your own title, subtitle and coordinates, perhaps a neighbourhood or an important year. Choose one of five styles: Classic black & white, Noir, Paper, Blueprint or Sand. Printed posters come on matte paper, with an optional wooden frame.
