Central grid
Straight streets and square blocks spread evenly from the plaza. The result is a clear chequerboard that prints crisply and makes it easy to trace a route from one neighbourhood to another.

Tabula
Arriaga is at the western end of the Chiapas coast, where the narrow coastal plain meets the first ridges of the Sierra Madre de Chiapas. Like many Mexican towns, it is laid out as a regular grid of blocks around a central plaza. On the map it forms a neat patch of squares, with mountains rising inland and flat land stretching away toward the ocean.
Arriaga grew as a railway town, and the tracks are still one of the clearest features of its layout, running along the edge of the grid with yards and sidings beside them. The town lies on the route between the Isthmus of Tehuantepec and the rest of coastal Chiapas. As a result, the highway and the rail line give the Arriaga map poster strong directional accents.
The region is exposed to the strong northerly winds that blow across the Isthmus of Tehuantepec, which affect local life more than any map can show. What the map does show is the shift from dense streets to open pasture and farmland. Creeks come down from the sierra, and low coastal land and lagoons lie further toward the Pacific.
Straight streets and square blocks spread evenly from the plaza. The result is a clear chequerboard that prints crisply and makes it easy to trace a route from one neighbourhood to another.
The rail line that shaped the town's growth runs past the grid in a long, straight band. Its wider strip of yards and tracks anchors one side of the composition.
Inland, the first ridges of the Sierra Madre de Chiapas rise close to town. There the road network thins into winding tracks that follow the slopes and stream valleys.

The clean chequerboard looks sharp in Classic black and white and more technical in Blueprint. Noir, Paper and Sand set other moods. The files cost $9 for all six sizes, and printed posters ship from partners in more than 30 countries.
