Zurich Map Art

Zurich's map splits cleanly where the Limmat River exits Lake Zurich, with the medieval Old Town hugging the river's right bank and a rigid street grid expanding eastward. The lake's irregular shoreline—narrow at the city center, widening south—creates pockets of waterfront that interrupt the urban sprawl. Rail lines converge at Hauptbahnhof on the west bank, while the Uetliberg ridge rises steeply on the city's southern edge, its forested slopes visible as a green boundary on any overhead view.
