Abstract: We consider unbounded curves without endpoints. Isomorphism is equivalence up to translation. Self-avoiding plane-filling curves cannot be periodic, but they can satisfy the local isomorphism property: We obtain a set $Omega$ of coverings of the plane by sets of disjoint self-avoiding nonoriented curves, generalizing the Peano-Gosper curves, such that: 1) each $CinOmega$ satisfies the local isomorphism property; any set of curves locally isomorphic to $C$ belongs to $Omega$; 2) $Omega$ is the union of $2^{omega}$ equivalence classes for the relation "$C$ locally isomorphic to $D$"; each of them contains $2^{omega}$ (resp. $2^{omega}$, $4$, $0$) isomorphism classes of coverings by $1$ (resp. $2$, $3$, $geq4$) curves. Each $CinOmega$ gives exactly $2$ coverings by sets of oriented curves which satisfy the local isomorphism property. They have opposite orientations.
