San Francisco map poster
San Francisco sits on a 49-square-mile peninsula between the Pacific Ocean and San Francisco Bay, with the Golden Gate Bridge connecting it to Marin County. The city's famous grid climbs hills so steep that some roads are made of brick or cobblestone to provide traction. What surprises most people is that Market Street, the city's main thoroughfare, was laid out at an angle to the grid by a real estate speculator in the 1840s to make his land more valuable.

Frequently asked about San Francisco posters
What size is the San Francisco map poster?
The San Francisco map poster measures 30×40cm (roughly 12×16 inches), a standard poster size that fits most ready-made frames available at IKEA, high street shops, and online retailers.
What paper is the San Francisco poster printed on?
All San Francisco posters are printed on 200gsm archival matte paper with UV-resistant pigment inks. The paper is FSC-certified and the inks are rated for decades of display without noticeable fading.
Can I frame the San Francisco map poster?
Yes. The 30×40cm size is a standard frame size. You can find affordable frames at most home goods stores. The poster ships rolled in a sturdy tube and will flatten easily under light pressure or in a frame.
What is the difference between the San Francisco colourways?
The San Francisco poster is available in 11 colourways: from high-contrast Noir (black streets on white) to coastal Swell (teal tones) and electric Strip (neon-inspired). Each colourway uses the same map data but applies a different colour palette to streets, water, green spaces, and background. You can see all 11 on the San Francisco poster page.
How is the San Francisco poster made?
Each San Francisco poster is generated from OpenStreetMap data and rendered as a clean vector map. It is printed on demand when you order, which means no inventory waste and a fresh print every time.
Does the San Francisco poster show landmarks?
The poster focuses on the street network, waterways, and green spaces of San Francisco rather than individual landmarks. It is designed as an abstract city portrait where the street layout itself is the subject.
