The map
This São Pedro lies in the mountainous interior of Rio de Janeiro state, where the Serra do Mar rises high above the coast. From above, the streets do not follow a grid at all. They trace the valley floors and climb the slopes in curves and switchbacks, and the built-up areas spread in narrow fingers wherever the land is gentle enough to build on.
The surrounding terrain is steep and heavily wooded, with streams running down through the valleys. Much of the landscape here is covered in Atlantic forest, and the mountains give the region a cooler climate than the coast below. On a map, this means large empty spaces between the roads, framed by the lines of rivers and ridges.
A São Pedro map poster reflects this relationship between town and terrain. The curving roads read almost like contour lines, and the gaps between them show where the mountains are. It is a map with movement in it, well suited to the monochrome styles, where every bend and fork is clearly visible.
Roads follow the valley floors and wind along the hillsides, creating long, curving shapes rather than a regular urban grid.
Steep, wooded ground separates the built-up areas, leaving wide open spaces on the map that suggest the scale of the mountains.
Small rivers and streams run through the valleys, their thin winding lines often running alongside the main roads.
