Des Moines Map Art by City Prints
Des Moines map art from City Prints reads as abstract color first, then the city snaps into focus. The street pattern shifts where the Raccoon River joins the Des Moines River, and the long east-west runs of Grand and Ingersoll pull away from the downtown core toward the west side. Palettes come from city flag colors, so the piece behaves like modern art on the wall while still being a true Des Moines street map.
- Published by City Prints, a studio known for flag-inspired city art maps.
- Unframed prints use 105# Stardream Pearlescent paper with a soft metallic shimmer.
- A SKU on the back upper right corner helps orient the print for hanging.
- Poly frames use black heavy polystyrene molding, left unglazed so the paper catches light.
- Wood frames add a bevel-cut acid-free white mat behind crystal-clear acrylic.
- Gallery-wrapped canvas is printed direct, stretched on heavy gauge wood bars, corner braced.
- Every finish ships with silver hanging hardware and a sealed dust cover.
Realtors hand these over as closing gifts in Beaverdale and Sherman Hill. Drake alumni hang them in home offices. Downtown employers use them in reception areas and conference rooms. Printed on demand at Map Shop, so these are not eligible for return.
