The map
About this Palmdale map poster
Palmdale lies in the Antelope Valley on the western edge of the Mojave Desert, north of Los Angeles across the San Gabriel Mountains. On a map the city is a broad, open grid of long straight avenues and numbered streets, set roughly a mile apart, with neighbourhoods filling some squares and desert still occupying others. The mountains rise sharply along the southern boundary.
The San Andreas Fault passes along the city's southern edge, and a road cut on the Antelope Valley Freeway exposes dramatically folded rock layers that are well known to geologists. Palmdale is also central to American aerospace: Air Force Plant 42, where aircraft have been built and tested for decades, occupies a large area of the city, including its long runways.
A Palmdale map poster shows the logic of a desert city with room to spread: a clean grid, straight freeways and large empty areas between developments. The runways of Plant 42 and the mountain edge add strong shapes to the composition. For people who live here or work in aerospace, it is a familiar pattern seen in a new, graphic way.

Plant 42 runways
The long, crossing runways of the aerospace complex form one of the most distinctive shapes on the map, surrounded by hangars and wide open ground.
San Andreas edge
Along the southern boundary the land rises into the San Gabriel foothills, following the line of the San Andreas Fault through the pass toward Los Angeles.

Why Palmdale
A map that means something
Palmdale's residents, engineers and aviation enthusiasts often feel a strong attachment to its open desert grid. The map works well in modern interiors, offices or workshops, where its geometry reads more like a technical drawing than a travel print.
Add a custom title, subtitle and coordinates, such as a project name or a year you moved. Choose Classic black & white, Noir, Paper, Blueprint or Sand; Blueprint suits the aerospace theme especially well.
