Explore the map
The illustration shows Manhattan’s long, tightly gridded island between broad waterways, with neighboring shorelines, piers and large rectangular open spaces. Follow the larger shapes first, then discover the smaller streets and plots nested between them. The map is made for creative coloring and is a decorative interpretation, so its layout and details may differ from the real place.
How to color this map
Color the surrounding rivers and harbor in layered blue-teal, make the large open spaces sage green, and alternate rust, ochre and warm beige across the grid. Leave the long avenues pale so the narrow island remains legible. The included colored example shows one possible palette, not a required answer. Work from broad areas toward the smallest shapes; fine-tip pencils or pens help keep adjacent sections distinct. Test colors on scrap paper before adding a darker layer, and print the blank original when you want a fresh attempt.
