Contour-led streets
Many roads bend to follow slopes and valley floors, so the street network curves and forks in ways that make the hilly terrain legible even without relief shading.

The map
São José lies in Santa Catarina, a southern Brazilian state where the coast climbs quickly into green hills and river valleys. The city's map reflects that terrain: streets rarely hold a straight line for long, and neighbourhoods spread along the valley floors and up the slopes, linked by roads that follow the contours rather than cutting across them.
The municipality is one of the older settlements of the state, associated with the Azorean families who arrived in coastal Santa Catarina in the eighteenth century. Its historic core is small compared with the residential districts that grew around it later, and on a map the older and newer parts can be told apart by the density and rhythm of their streets.
A São José map poster turns this mix of hills, streams and branching roads into a clear, layered drawing. Major routes appear as strong lines threading through the terrain, while the finer residential streets fill the gaps like veins in a leaf, giving the print texture without clutter.
Many roads bend to follow slopes and valley floors, so the street network curves and forks in ways that make the hilly terrain legible even without relief shading.
Small watercourses wind between neighbourhoods, and the development along them forms long ribbons of streets that give the map a clear directional flow.
The compact historic centre contrasts with the looser, larger residential areas around it, a difference that shows up clearly in the spacing of the street lines.
