A memory of home, mapped

Not simply a map of where you live. A memory of the best days of your life.

KNOWOL created this portrait of Derby as it looks today, using the visual grace of an old New England atlas. Modern streets, individual houses, shaded terrain, water, parks, and familiar local places are drawn together in one detailed view of home. Follow the roads, count the houses, and find your exact home on the map. Once you realize it's accurately placed, the map stops being a decoration and becomes a memory of a place in time.

The Map that Brings Derby Home

The familiar lines of Coe Lane and Dale Drive lead the eye into a portrait filled with individual buildings. Look farther and Downtown, East Derby, and City Hall give the map the local character that makes Derby immediately recognizable.

Made to begin stories

The map earns its place slowly. First the house, then Dale Drive, then East Derby beyond it. Derby Greenway appears where it always was, and a small piece of Derby that lived only in memory turns out to have been on the page the whole time.

Each Derby map is printed from a high-resolution 300 DPI original on archival matte paper and is available unframed or framed in black or white Ayous wood. See the available sizes and finishes.
