City poster

Chicago map poster

The great American grid meets Lake Michigan.

Chicago is the purest expression of the mile grid, a lattice running flat to the horizon that stops dead at the lake's blue edge, with the river's branches drawing a Y through the Loop.

Shown here in the Blueprint theme. Blueprint honors the city that drew the modern skyline's plans. This preview is a live map: in the studio you can drag it to frame the exact area you want, switch between 14 hand-tuned themes, set your own caption, and order it printed on heavyweight, acid-free paper.

What to frame

  • The Loop where the river's Y meets the grid
  • Wicker Park Milwaukee Avenue's defiant diagonal
  • Hyde Park the lakefront campus grid

Questions

Can I print a specific area of Chicago?

Yes. The preview is a live map. In the studio you can drag and zoom to frame exactly what you want: just The Loop, the streets around Wicker Park, or the whole city. The caption and coordinates update to match.

What sizes does the Chicago map poster come in?

Three sizes: 12 × 16″ ($45), 18 × 24″ ($59), and 24 × 36″ ($79) as a borderless print, or in a real wood frame with plexiglass from $50 more depending on size. Shipping is free worldwide.

What is it printed on?

Heavyweight 200 gsm silk-coated paper that is acid-free, FSC-certified, and alkaline-buffered so it won't yellow. Framed posters come in a real wood frame glazed with plexiglass, hanging kit included.

How long does delivery take?

Your poster is printed by a partner in your region (a network spanning 32 countries), which typically takes 1–3 business days, plus 3–7 business days for delivery. You'll get a tracking link by email.
