The Ahar River
The river runs through the town and sets the direction of its main roads, a soft line that the rest of the street network gathers around.

The map
Ahar lies in the uplands of East Azerbaijan, northeast of Tabriz. The town follows the valley of the Ahar River, with its main roads roughly parallel to the water and a looser network of lanes climbing the slopes on either side. On a map the built-up area is compact and ends quickly where it meets open farmland and hills.
It is the main town of the historic Qaradagh region, which reaches north toward the Aras River and the Arasbaran forests. Ahar is also known for the shrine of Sheikh Shahab al-Din Ahari, a medieval Sufi figure. In August 2012 a pair of strong earthquakes struck the area between Ahar and Varzaqan.
An Ahar map poster shows a town shaped by its terrain. The river gives it a clear spine, older lanes near the centre are irregular, and newer districts are laid out more squarely at the edges. In monochrome the change from winding lanes to planned streets is easy to follow.
The river runs through the town and sets the direction of its main roads, a soft line that the rest of the street network gathers around.
Built-up streets thin out quickly as the ground rises, so the edge of the town sits right against the surrounding hills.
Irregular lanes near the centre contrast with more regular blocks on the outskirts, showing on paper how the town has grown in stages.

Why Ahar
Ahar is not a place people choose by chance. It is usually a family town, a birthplace or the gateway to Qaradagh. A clean print of its streets makes a quiet reminder of home for anyone now living in Tabriz, Tehran or further afield.
The title and subtitle can be written in whatever wording you like, and a date can be added under the coordinates. Pick the look that suits your room from Classic black & white, Noir, Paper, Blueprint and Sand.
