Mapping Philadelphia

Philadelphia stretches from the Delaware River to the Schuylkill and beyond, with Center City, Old City’s historic sites, South Philly’s markets and Fairmount Park among its best-known areas. Its row-house neighborhoods each have a strong identity.

Use the outline to plan a historic walking tour, map cheesesteak and hoagie spots, or draw delivery zones by neighborhood.

How to make a map of Philadelphia

  1. 1

    Start from the outline

    The map opens on Philadelphia's city limits, locked so it won't move as you draw over it.

  2. 2

    Draw and add places

    Pick a tool from the toolbar to drop points, draw lines and routes, outline areas or add text. Search for any address or place to add it.

  3. 3

    Style it

    Choose colors, icons, labels and a basemap. Group features into folders, and add descriptions that pop up when someone clicks.

  4. 4

    Save it and share it

    Save the map to sign up free, and keep editing it in your account. Publish it at a link, or embed it in your website.

The docs go further: drawing, styling, importing your data and publishing.

Questions

Is this Philadelphia map free?

Yes. You can draw on it without an account, and saving your map to a free squidmaps account doesn't cost anything during the beta.

Do I need to sign up to use it?

No. Draw as much as you like: your map is kept in this browser while you work. To keep it for good, edit it later and share it, save it and sign up with your email address.

Can I add my own places to the map of Philadelphia?

Yes. Search for addresses and places, drop pins, draw routes and areas, or import a spreadsheet, CSV or GeoJSON file of your own.

How do I share my map?

Once it's saved to your account, publish it: it gets its own link that anyone can open, and code to embed it in a website.

Can I download a map of Philadelphia?

You can export your map's features as GeoJSON or as a squidmaps map document from the menu under the squid, and open them in other mapping tools.
