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 Essex 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 Essex Home

Trace Abby Lane, find Bank Lane, and then search the surrounding detail for Downtown and Ivoryton. With Town Hall and individual houses in view, the map rewards the kind of close looking that turns geography into a memory of home.

Made to begin stories

The map earns its place slowly. First the house, then Mack Lane, then Ivoryton beyond it. Meadow Woods appears where it always was, and a small piece of Essex that lived only in memory turns out to have been on the page the whole time.

Each Essex 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.
