Mountain-front edge
The street grid stops abruptly at the base of the San Gabriels, where the land becomes too steep to build on. This produces a striking boundary along the top of the map.

The map
La Crescenta-Montrose is an unincorporated community in Los Angeles County, California. It lies in the Crescenta Valley, between the Verdugo Mountains to the south and the steep front of the San Gabriel Mountains to the north. The name La Crescenta is said to come from the crescent shapes that an early settler saw in the surrounding hills from his home.
From above, the community covers a long, sloping alluvial fan. Streets climb north toward the mountains in long parallel lines and end abruptly where the canyons and national forest begin. Foothill Boulevard runs east to west across the slope as the main commercial street. Interstate 210 cuts a broad curve through the valley floor, and Montrose's small shopping district sits toward the south-east.
A La Crescenta-Montrose map poster captures a suburb shaped by its terrain. There is the regular grid on the slope, the hard edge where the streets meet the mountain front and the freeway curve through the valley. Between two mountain ranges, the valley's layout is easy to read, and it gives the map a clear top and bottom.
The street grid stops abruptly at the base of the San Gabriels, where the land becomes too steep to build on. This produces a striking boundary along the top of the map.
The main east–west street runs across the slope through the community. It forms a strong horizontal line that crosses the streets climbing uphill.
The interstate sweeps through the valley in a wide curve with interchanges. It adds a bold, flowing line to the lower part of the composition.

Why La Crescenta-Montrose
The map suits residents of the Crescenta Valley, families who have raised children in its foothill neighbourhoods and people who have moved on but still think of it as home. The layout between the two ranges makes it instantly recognisable.
You can personalise the title, subtitle and coordinates, for example with a street name or the year you moved in. Choose from five styles, including Blueprint and Noir. The $9 HD files include 18×24″ and 24×36″, and framed matte prints are available.
