The map
San José de Metán is the main town of Metán Department, in the southern part of Salta province in northwestern Argentina. Like many towns in the region, it is laid out on a clear orthogonal grid of square blocks around a central plaza. From above, the pattern reads as a neat chequerboard set among cultivated fields.
The setting gives the town its sense of place. It sits in a valley between the lowland plains and the first ranges of the Andean foothills, an area of farming and cattle country with a warmer, greener climate than the high puna to the west. National highways pass nearby, linking the town to Salta and to the provinces further south.
A San José de Metán map poster works almost as a lesson in the Spanish colonial grid. The regular blocks, the central plaza and the long straight roads leading out into the countryside all hold together in a well-balanced composition. It is a clean and orderly design that suits the minimalist style of the print.
Square blocks repeat in every direction from the centre, the classic urban plan of Argentine provincial towns and the defining texture of the map.
A single open square marks the civic heart of the town, where the main streets meet and the grid finds its anchor.
At the town limits the streets give way to fields and rural roads that stretch across the valley toward the surrounding hills.

Why San José de Metán
For people from Metán, a map of its grid holds familiar corners, the walk to the plaza and the roads out toward family farms. It suits both a home in Salta and one far from the northwest, where it keeps the town close.
The title, subtitle and coordinates line can be edited, and the poster comes in five styles: Classic black & white, Noir, Paper, Blueprint and Sand. HD files for $9 include six sizes as 300 DPI PNG and print-ready PDF, with no watermark.
