The angled grid
Streets and canals run at a different angle from the main canal ring, forming a regular pattern that stands out clearly against the curving belt to the east.

The map
The Jordaan lies west of the Prinsengracht, and on a map it is immediately recognisable because its grid is turned at an angle to the concentric ring canals beside it. It was laid out in the seventeenth century as a working-class district, with streets and canals following the direction of older drainage ditches rather than the curve of the main canal belt.
Many streets and canals are named after flowers and plants, such as Bloemgracht, Rozengracht, Lauriergracht and Egelantiersgracht. The Westerkerk stands at its eastern edge beside the Prinsengracht, near the Anne Frank House, and the Noordermarkt holds weekly markets around its church. Several canals were later filled in and became streets.
A Jordaan map poster shows the meeting of two street systems. The smooth arcs of the ring canals on one side meet the straight, angled lanes of the Jordaan on the other, and the water appears as fine parallel lines that give the whole print a quiet order.
Streets and canals run at a different angle from the main canal ring, forming a regular pattern that stands out clearly against the curving belt to the east.
Bloemgracht and Egelantiersgracht are among the canals that still carry water, drawn as thin lines between narrow blocks of canal houses.
The outermost of the main ring canals forms the Jordaan's eastern boundary, with the Westerkerk and Anne Frank House standing along it.

Why Jordaan
The Jordaan is a place people walk through slowly, crossing small bridges and stopping at corner cafés. For anyone who lived or stayed here, the map brings back exact turns and particular canal corners.
Personalise the title, subtitle and coordinates line, perhaps with an address or a year. Blueprint highlights the lines of water, and Classic black and white shows the angled grid against the ring canals most clearly.
