Panama City Map Art

Panama City's street grid runs perpendicular to the Panama Canal, with the waterway defining the city's entire geography—the canal enters from the southwest, curves northeast through the urban area, and dominates spatial orientation. The Bay of Panama curves along the southern and eastern edges, with the Amador Causeway extending into the bay to connect islands and create a waterfront promenade. Behind the modern skyline, the old town (Casco Viejo) sits on a peninsula with tight colonial streets, while inland neighborhoods spread in concentric patterns toward the Canal Zone.
