Le faʻafanua
Mesa sits in the eastern Phoenix metropolitan area, and its map is a lesson in the Western grid. Major roads run exactly north to south and east to west, one mile apart, framing square sections filled with curving suburban streets, cul-de-sacs and shopping centres. The pattern repeats for miles, broken mainly by freeways and the lines of irrigation canals.
Those canals follow routes first engineered by the Hohokam people many centuries ago, and they still run diagonally through the grid, drawing slanted lines across an otherwise square pattern. The Salt River bed marks the northern edge, and to the east the city stretches out toward the Superstition Mountains and the open desert beyond.
Mesa was founded by Mormon settlers in 1878 and takes its name from the flat tableland on which it stands. It is one of the largest cities in Arizona and hosts Major League spring training games each year. A Mesa map poster turns the endless grid, with its canals and freeways, into a clean graphic pattern.
Arterial roads at one-mile intervals divide the city into regular squares, each filled with its own pattern of looping residential streets and cul-de-sacs.
Irrigation canals cut diagonally across the grid, carrying Salt River water through neighbourhoods and giving the map several long, slanted lines.
Along the northern boundary the wide, often dry bed of the Salt River forms an open, irregular band between Mesa and the communities beyond it.

Aisea Mesa
Many people move to Mesa from elsewhere, and a map of the grid where they found a home, retired or raised a family makes a meaningful piece for a wall. The regular geometry works especially well in larger formats, where each mile square becomes a small study.
Add a title, subtitle and date of your own, and choose from Classic black & white, Noir, Paper, Blueprint and Sand. Print the $9 digital files at 18×24″ or 24×36″, or order a finished matte poster with an optional wooden frame.
