Philadelphia's map carries the DNA of American urban planning. William Penn's original 1682 plan laid a grid between two rivers — the Delaware to the east, the Schuylkill to the west — with five public squares distributed symmetrically. That grid still anchors Center City, and its numbered east-west streets (2nd through 69th) are a counting lesson that stretches for miles. But the map's greatest surprise is Fairmount Park — a vast green system along the Schuylkill that is one of the largest urban parks in the world.
Philadelphia in Every Palette
The same streets, completely different moods. Each theme transforms your Philadelphia poster into something new.
The Two-River City
Philadelphia sits on a peninsula between the Delaware and Schuylkill rivers, and the map reads as a grid stretched between two waterfronts. The Delaware side is industrial and historic — Penn's Landing, the Navy Yard. The Schuylkill side is green and institutional — Boathouse Row, the art museum steps, the university campuses. In the Copper theme, both rivers take on a warm, burnished quality that suits the city's deep history.
Fairmount Park — The Green Giant
Fairmount Park system covers over 2,000 acres along the Schuylkill River, and on a map it dominates the western half of the city. Wissahickon Valley, East and West Fairmount Park, the Philadelphia Zoo — this green corridor is so extensive that it almost divides the city in two. The Forest theme transforms this parkland into a rich, layered green that makes Philadelphia look like a city growing out of a forest.
From Rittenhouse to Your Rowhome
Rittenhouse Square's elegant surround. South Philly's tight rowhome grid. Fishtown's rapidly changing blocks. Germantown's historic avenues. Philly is a city of neighbourhoods with strong opinions and stronger loyalties. Zoom into your block, your corner store, your park. A Philadelphia poster is a declaration of where you're from.
