The map
About this Salinas map poster
Salinas sits near the northern end of the Salinas Valley, about fifteen kilometres inland from Monterey Bay. From above, it is a broad, level grid of streets, with Highway 101 running along its edge. Around the city, farmland forms a patchwork of long rectangular fields that continues well past the last suburbs.
That farmland gave the valley its nickname, the Salad Bowl of the World, because a large share of the lettuce and leafy greens eaten in the United States is grown here. The Salinas River runs to the south-west on its way to the sea, and the Gabilan Range and Santa Lucia Range enclose the valley on either side.
John Steinbeck was born in Salinas and set East of Eden and other books in the valley. The National Steinbeck Center stands in the old downtown on Main Street. A Salinas map poster shows the difference between tight town blocks and the wide geometry of the fields around them.

Field geometry
Row-crop fields surround the city in long rectangles, and at poster scale they turn into an almost abstract pattern of lines.
Highway 101
The main north–south road of coastal California runs past the city and links it to San Francisco in one direction and Los Angeles in the other.

Why Salinas
A map that means something
Salinas means different things to different people: Steinbeck's valley, a working farm town, or simply home. A map of its grid and fields is an honest image of the place, without idealising it, and it makes a good gift for someone who grew up there.
You can edit the title, subtitle and coordinates, and choose Classic black and white, Noir, Paper, Blueprint or Sand. Sand works especially well with the valley's field pattern.
