The map
Abbottabad lies in the Orash Valley in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, surrounded by the hills of the Hazara region. It was founded in 1853 and named after James Abbott, the British administrator who established it. From above, the city stretches along the main road through the valley. Neighbourhoods climb the lower slopes, and the streets thin out toward the forested ridges around it.
The Karakoram Highway passes through the city on its way north toward Gilgit-Baltistan and China, which makes Abbottabad a staging point for travel into the mountains. Its mild summers have long drawn visitors from the plains. On the edge of the city, the Pakistan Military Academy at Kakul trains the army's officers.
An Abbottabad map poster is shaped by terrain. The highway's long central corridor, the more regular layout of the cantonment and the winding roads up into the hills give it a clear structure, while the surrounding slopes leave open space at the margins. In monochrome, the valley's shape looks calm and balanced.
The highway runs the length of the city. It is the main spine, and most shops, markets and neighbourhoods have grown along it.
The older cantonment follows a more orderly plan of broad roads and generous plots, in clear contrast with the denser bazaar districts.
Streets climb and curve into the surrounding hills before fading into forest, so the city's outline follows the shape of the valley floor.

Why Abbottabad
For many people across Pakistan and abroad, Abbottabad means summers, school years and family. A map of the valley town is a quiet reminder of that setting, and it suits a home office or makes a gift for a former student.
