Branching cul-de-sacs
Short dead-end streets branch off curving collector roads. From above they form a pattern that looks organic, closer to a plant than to a planned city.

The map
About this North Potomac map poster
North Potomac is an unincorporated community in Montgomery County, Maryland, in the wooded suburbs northwest of Washington, D.C. Its map looks nothing like a traditional town. There is no main street and no grid. Instead, curving residential roads branch off a few larger routes and end in cul-de-sacs, with green stream valleys running through the gaps between them.
The area grew mainly as a planned residential suburb in the late twentieth century, and the layout shows it. Neighbourhoods were laid out one at a time, each with its own looping internal streets. Parks and stream corridors were left as green space between them. It is often mentioned as one of the more educated and well-off communities in the region.
A North Potomac map poster turns that suburban pattern into something close to abstract art. The branching roads look like leaf veins or river tributaries, and the open spaces between them give the composition room to breathe. It is an unusual subject for a map print, and a surprisingly beautiful one.

Stream valley parks
Wooded stream corridors wind between the neighbourhoods. On the map they show up as open lanes that break the residential texture into separate pieces.
No single centre
There is no downtown. Shopping and schools sit along the main roads, so the map has an even spread of streets rather than one dense core.
