About this Santa Cruz do Sul map poster
Santa Cruz do Sul lies in the centre of Rio Grande do Sul, west of Porto Alegre, in the Rio Pardo valley region. The city grew from a colony of German immigrants established in the mid-nineteenth century, and its core still shows a planned, regular layout of streets and squares, set between rising hills and the valley of the Rio Pardinho.
The region became the centre of Brazil's tobacco industry, and large processing plants on the outskirts appear on the map as broad industrial blocks. Each October the city hosts one of the country's largest Oktoberfest celebrations, and the neo-Gothic cathedral facing the central square is another reminder of the town's origins.
A Santa Cruz do Sul map poster captures an orderly city at the edge of the hills: the regular grid of the historic core, the roads fanning out toward farming communities, the industrial districts and the river along one side. It is balanced, clear and easy to read, much like the town itself.

Tobacco industry districts
Large processing plants and warehouses on the outskirts are drawn as wide blocks, distinct from the finer residential streets that surround the older core.
Hills and river plain
Rising ground on one side and the flat valley of the Rio Pardinho on the other give the city's edges very different textures.
