The island
About this São Jorge Island map poster
São Jorge is one of the central islands of the Azores, a slender strip of land more than 50 kilometres long and only a few kilometres wide. It is essentially a single volcanic ridge, with a line of cones along its spine and high cliffs dropping to the sea on both sides. From above it looks like a blade laid across the Atlantic.
At the foot of the cliffs lie the fajãs, flat platforms of land formed by landslides or lava flows. Many are farmed or dotted with houses. They are the island's signature feature, and some, such as Fajã da Caldeira de Santo Cristo, are reached mainly on foot. São Jorge is also known for its cheese, made from the milk of cows grazing on the upland pastures.
A São Jorge Island map poster reads almost as a single line: the main road running most of the island's length, the towns of Velas and Calheta on the southern side, and the small, flat shapes of the fajãs pressed against the coast. The proportions suit a landscape layout especially well, letting the island stretch from one edge of the sheet to the other.

Velas
The main town sits on the southwest coast around a sheltered harbour. Its streets are laid out on ground that rises quickly into the slopes behind.
Central ridge
A chain of volcanic cones runs along the spine of the island. Both coasts are steep, and the interior is a narrow band of high pasture crossed by few roads.

Why São Jorge Island
A map that means something
São Jorge attracts walkers who have followed its trails down to the fajãs, as well as Azorean families across the diaspora. Its elongated outline is almost a signature. It pairs naturally with neighbouring Pico and Faial if you are building a set of island maps.
Personalise the title, subtitle and coordinates line with the island's name, a fajã you stayed on or a date. There are five styles: Classic black & white, Noir, Paper, Blueprint and Sand. The digital download costs $9 and covers all six print sizes as 300 DPI PNG and print-ready PDF files.
