Printable Map — Houston Texas US

An accurate printable map of Houston Texas US that keeps hierarchy under control when scaling from A3 to A0. Crisp vectors preserve edges at high DPI and export compactly for web delivery. Bridges, tunnels and ferry lines are isolated so routes remain legible after recolor. Layer structure separates arterials and locals, districts, hydrography, parks and landmarks. Coordinates and scales are prepared for sheet production and consistent exports. Named layers let you restyle colors, line weights and label classes without cleanup passes.

Works well as an underlay for wayfinding, transport schemes and editorial layouts. Saves prepress time by reducing manual fixes and keeping the visual system consistent. Legibility holds up on handheld leaflets and large lobby posters alike. Editors can brand the palette and icons, then export sharp results for both print and web.
