The map
About this Västerås map poster
Västerås lies on the northern shore of Lake Mälaren, a little over a hundred kilometres west of Stockholm. The Svartån river flows south through the centre to the lake, and the old town grew along its banks. Beyond this core, the city spreads in a broad arc along the shore, with the harbour, bays and islands of Mälaren forming the southern edge of the map.
It is one of Sweden's oldest cities, with a cathedral dating from the Middle Ages and the preserved wooden houses of Kyrkbacken on the hill beside it. In the twentieth century Västerås became closely linked with the electrical engineering company ASEA, now part of ABB. Just outside the city, Anundshög is one of the largest burial mounds in Sweden.
A Västerås map poster sets the narrow old lanes near the river against the more regular grid of the industrial city and the curving bays of the lake. The contrast between water and streets gives the drawing a clear structure, and the lake shore makes a strong lower edge.

Kyrkbacken
The small hillside quarter next to the cathedral keeps an irregular pattern of narrow lanes. It is clearly finer-grained than the planned blocks of the surrounding centre.
Mälaren shoreline
To the south the city meets the lake in a series of bays, peninsulas and islands. This complex edge fills the lower part of the poster.

Why Västerås
A map that means something
People form lasting attachments to Västerås: a first flat near the river, a job at one of its industrial firms, summers on the lake. A map poster keeps those places in view without needing a caption, though you can add one.
You can edit the title, subtitle and coordinates line, so the poster can mark a move, a wedding or a birth. Choose from five styles (Classic black & white, Noir, Paper, Blueprint or Sand), then print it yourself from the PDF or order it framed.
