"Guide to the Squares of Cambridge and Somerville"

Hey, has somebody already posted this here? I just discovered it via Metafilter:

Peter Gorman of BarelyMaps has made a poster: "Guide to the Squares of Cambridge and Somerville". It's also at his Etsy store.

(Not embedding image because his site frustrates that, so I'll take it as expressed that he'd prefer us not to.)

I thought it was delightful.

Huh, neither his site nor etsy let you easily view a full sized image, making pretty much all of his maps practically unviewable on a smaller screen. Like, it looks like it has text, but in order to actually read it I'd have to pore through the HTML to see if there's an image file I can load separately.

You can get a zoomed-in image on Etsy; pick the detail image thumbnail below the main image, and then you should get a magnifying glass cursor you can use to click further on the image to zoom in. But the detailed view (as opposed to the image of the framed poster) isn't the default on Etsy, and thus there are a few extra steps to get what you want.
