Old Town on Myrtle
Myrtle Avenue runs north–south through the historic centre, lined with older commercial buildings. It is the backbone of the city's grid and a natural focus for the map.

The map
Monrovia sits in the San Gabriel Valley, northeast of Los Angeles, directly beneath the steep front of the San Gabriel Mountains. Founded by William N. Monroe and incorporated in 1887, it grew during the Southern California land boom of the late nineteenth century, and its street plan still reflects that era of orderly, speculative town-building.
From above, the city is a tidy grid that runs north toward the mountains until the slopes stop it. Old Town, along Myrtle Avenue, forms the historic commercial spine, with the railway and the Foothill Freeway crossing the southern part of the city. At the northern edge, Monrovia Canyon Park leads into a wooded canyon with a trail to a waterfall.
A Monrovia map poster shows the sharp line between city and wild country that defines the foothill towns. The orderly street pattern fills most of the sheet, then gives way abruptly to the folds and ridges of the mountains. That contrast between straight lines and natural contours makes for a striking, balanced print.
Myrtle Avenue runs north–south through the historic centre, lined with older commercial buildings. It is the backbone of the city's grid and a natural focus for the map.
At the top of the city, the grid simply stops where the San Gabriel Mountains rise. The contrast between dense streets and open slopes defines the whole composition.
A park at the northern edge leads into a narrow canyon with a creek and a waterfall trail. On the map it appears as a winding line cutting into the hills.

Why Monrovia
Monrovia is the kind of place people settle into for years: a walkable old town, mountain trails a short drive away, the valley stretching below. A map of the city is a fitting piece for a home here, or a reminder after moving on.
Add your own title and subtitle, include a date or a neighbourhood, and choose Classic black & white, Noir, Paper, Blueprint or Sand. Noir makes the mountain edge especially dramatic.
