street maps

Urban navigation sheets

Street maps are visual representations of a city or town's roads, showing how streets connect and where landmarks, buildings, or transit stops are located.

Before GPS navigation, paper street maps and folding city maps were essential for drivers and tourists: We picked up a street map at the visitor center.

Now the term often refers to digital mapping apps: Pull up the street map on your phone.
