The Morros
Volcanic peaks line up along the edge of the city. On paper they are quiet voids among the streets and trails, giving the poster an unusual rhythm between built and open ground.

The map
About this San Luis Obispo map poster
San Luis Obispo sits in a valley on California's Central Coast, roughly halfway between Los Angeles and San Francisco. Downtown grew up around the mission founded in 1772. San Luis Obispo Creek still winds through the centre, sometimes in the open and sometimes tucked behind buildings. The street grid tilts slightly, following the valley rather than the compass.
Around the city rises a chain of old volcanic plugs known as the Nine Sisters, or Morros, including Bishop Peak and Cerro San Luis. On a map they appear as blank, rounded shapes pressing against the street network. To the north, the Cal Poly campus spreads over its own hills, with curving roads and playing fields that look nothing like the downtown blocks.
Every week Higuera Street hosts an evening farmers' market that has become a local institution, and the mission plaza by the creek remains the heart of town. A San Luis Obispo map poster brings these elements into one frame: the creek, the grid, the campus and the ring of peaks that makes the city so recognisable from above.

Mission and creek
The mission stands beside San Luis Obispo Creek, whose winding course cuts through the otherwise regular downtown blocks and draws a thin natural line across the centre of the sheet.
Cal Poly campus
North of downtown, the university grounds form a separate district of looping roads, quads and fields that extends up into the hills behind.

Why San Luis Obispo
A map that means something
Many people spend a few formative years in San Luis Obispo at Cal Poly, and many others choose it for its pace of life. A map of the town is an understated reminder of a particular chapter, whether a degree, a first home or a wedding.
Set the title to a graduation year, a couple's names or a street, and keep or edit the coordinates. Five styles are available: Classic black & white, Noir, Paper, Blueprint and Sand. Get the HD files for $9, or order a matte print, framed or unframed.
