The map
West Chester is the county seat of Chester County, Pennsylvania, west of Philadelphia. Its core is a tight, regular grid of streets, laid out in the early nineteenth century around the intersection of High Street and Market Street, where the Chester County Courthouse stands.
The courthouse, a Greek Revival building designed by Thomas U. Walter, who later worked on the dome of the United States Capitol, anchors a historic district of brick houses and storefronts. To the south, West Chester University occupies a large campus whose quads and buildings form a distinct area within the borough's fabric.
A West Chester map poster shows the clarity of this plan: the square blocks of the historic core, the looser pattern of the university grounds and the suburban streets that extend into the surrounding townships. In black and white, the orderly grid gives the composition a crisp, architectural quality.
The borough's centre is a compact grid of straight streets and square blocks, one of the clearest historic town plans in the region.
The courthouse at High and Market streets marks the heart of the grid, the point from which the town's main axes extend.
West Chester University's grounds lie south of the centre, their quads and paths forming a noticeably different pattern on the map.

Why West Chester
West Chester means a great deal to alumni of the university, to residents who walk its brick-lined streets and to anyone who has spent time in its historic centre. A map poster records those streets with precision.
