About this San José de Mayo map poster
San José de Mayo is the capital of the San José Department in southern Uruguay, roughly a hundred kilometres north-west of Montevideo. It was founded in the late eighteenth century, and its plan follows the classic Spanish colonial pattern: a grid of square blocks around a central plaza, extending evenly until it meets the fields and pastures that surround the town.
The San José River runs nearby, its wooded, winding course forming a natural edge to the urban grid. Around the town the countryside is devoted to farming and dairy production, and rural roads cross it in long straight lines, dividing the land into fields that echo the order of the streets.
The town is known for the Teatro Macció, an early twentieth century theatre that is among the most admired in the country's interior, and for its cathedral facing the main square. A San José de Mayo map poster shows the centre with its plaza and even blocks, a clear expression of the colonial town plan.

Main plaza
The central square, with the cathedral beside it, marks the heart of the grid and the point from which the town has grown outward.
San José River
The river's meandering course near the town adds soft curves and wooded banks to a map otherwise defined by straight lines.
