Natural Ann Arbor Map by Marcy Marchello

Take a closer look at the Natural Ann Arbor Map by Marcy Marchello—an inspiring art print that captures the nature of Ann Arbor in a unique way. Marcy’s map is all about the essence of place rather than navigation, bringing to life the Huron River, local parks, trails, wildlife, and more. Her hand-drawn illustrations create a mosaic of information that invites viewers to discover something new each time they look.

Unlike typical maps, this one is oriented to the watershed and the area’s historic paths, so you won’t find the usual streets and buildings. Instead, Marcy’s map opens up new ways to connect with the landscape.

This map has been eight years in the making, a labor of love developed through Marcy’s own explorations around town, online research, and over 500 hours of studio work. Every detail has been thoughtfully placed to spark interaction and meaning.

Released just in time for Ann Arbor’s bicentennial, the Natural Ann Arbor Map is available as a 24" x 36" print, created with soy-based inks on recycled paper for $75. This is more than a map—it’s a celebration of Ann Arbor’s natural legacy.
