Oasis boundary
The irrigated land ends sharply where the desert begins, so the map shows a crisp edge between dense lanes and fields and wide, empty terrain.

The map
About this Artux map poster
Artux is the seat of the Kizilsu Kyrgyz Autonomous Prefecture in western Xinjiang, just north of Kashgar at the edge of the Tarim Basin. Behind it rise the bare foothills of the Tian Shan. On the map the green oasis appears as an island of streets, orchards and irrigation channels surrounded by arid land.
The area has a long place in Central Asian history. Near the city stands the mausoleum of Satuq Bughra Khan, the Kara-Khanid ruler remembered as the first Turkic khan to convert to Islam, in the tenth century. Artux is also known for its figs, which are grown in the surrounding villages and sold across the region.
The modern town follows a straightforward plan of broad avenues and rectangular blocks, while the older villages around it keep a looser pattern of lanes that follow the water channels. An Artux map poster shows this meeting of new grid, oasis farmland and empty desert, with the mountains beginning just beyond the edge.

Satuq Bughra Khan tomb
The mausoleum of the Kara-Khanid ruler lies in the countryside near the city. It is an important historical and religious site for the whole region.
Road to Kashgar
A short road corridor runs south across the fields to Kashgar, linking the two cities and giving the composition a clear direction.

Why Artux
A map that means something
Artux is a small city with a strong sense of place, where Uyghur and Kyrgyz communities live side by side at the edge of the desert. A map makes a thoughtful gift for someone from here, personalised with a title, a subtitle in their own words and a date.
Sand suits the landscape naturally, while Classic black & white, Noir, Paper and Blueprint offer other moods. Digital files are $9 for six print sizes as 300 DPI PNG and PDF. Printed posters on matte paper, with an optional frame, come from partners in 30+ countries.
