Auckland Map Poster — Dark

Some cities you recognise from a skyline. Auckland you can recognise from its streets alone. This minimalist map poster distils Auckland, New Zealand down to what actually shapes it: the street grid, the waterways and the green spaces, drawn with nothing left over.

The Dark edition sets Auckland against a deep navy canvas, its roads traced in white light. The effect is closer to a city seen from a night flight than to a traditional map — bold, modern and quietly dramatic. It is a natural fit for contemporary spaces and rooms with darker, moodier palettes.

Every line on the poster is real. The map is rendered directly from OpenStreetMap data, covers roughly 30 km of the city centred at 36.8485° S / 174.7633° E, and keeps the true road hierarchy intact — motorways, main roads, residential streets and quiet service lanes each drawn at their own weight, alongside rivers, coastline and parks. The result is not an artistic impression of Auckland; it is Auckland's actual street plan, composed as wall art.

Printed at 300 DPI on 250 gsm museum-quality archival matte paper at 50×70 cm (19.7×27.6 in). Choose the print on its own, ready for a frame you already love, or have it arrive framed in black, white or natural wood behind crystal-clear plexiglass, ready to hang. Each poster is produced at the print partner nearest to you and ships to the US, UK, Canada, Australia and New Zealand.

It makes a thoughtful gift for anyone who calls Auckland home — or wishes they still did. Also available in the Classic edition — the same map in black and white.
