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 Portland 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 Portland Home

The familiar lines of Cox Road and Cote Lane lead the eye into a portrait filled with individual buildings. Look farther and Downtown, Bodkin Rock, and Town Hall give the map the local character that makes Portland immediately recognizable.

Made to begin stories

Hang it and wait. Someone follows Hale Road with a fingertip, stops at Bodkin Rock, and points to Portland Reservoir. The story that begins there starts in the middle, because everyone in the room already knows how it began.
