The map
Tempe sits in the heart of the Phoenix metropolitan area, between Phoenix, Scottsdale and Mesa. Most of the city is a strict desert grid of mile-square sections and arterial roads. Near the north end, the Salt River bed crosses from east to west, and part of it has been dammed to create Tempe Town Lake. On the map it appears as a long, narrow sheet of water.
Arizona State University's main campus fills a large area just south of the lake and east of Mill Avenue, the city's traditional main street. Next to them rises Hayden Butte, known locally as A Mountain for the large letter on its slope. Light rail crosses the river and runs through downtown and the campus.
A Tempe map poster shows the order of a southwestern grid, broken by a river, a lake and a small mountain in the middle of the city. Bridges cross the water, freeways cut across the corners, and the campus shows as a denser cluster of paths. It is a clean, graphic plan and a natural gift for ASU graduates.

The main university campus forms a dense cluster of paths and buildings south of the lake, very different from the surrounding grid.
Hayden Butte rises right next to downtown, a small, irregular open space set against the straight lines of the city.

Why Tempe
Tempe is where many people spent their college years, and a map of the campus, the lake and Mill Avenue brings those memories back. It is a popular graduation or farewell gift.
You can personalise the title, subtitle and coordinates line, for example with your class year. Choose from Classic black & white, Noir, Paper, Blueprint and Sand. Sand gives the desert grid a warm tone.
