The map
Aşkale lies on the high plateau of eastern Anatolia, west of Erzurum, at an altitude of roughly 1,600 metres. The town sits in the valley of the Karasu, one of the headwaters of the Euphrates. The valley floor is flat and open, and the mountains rise on either side.
The valley forms a natural corridor, and the map shows it clearly. The river, the main road and the railway line toward Erzurum all run through the same strip of land, sometimes side by side. The town's streets spread out around them, and beyond the edges lie open fields and bare slopes.
An Aşkale map poster traces this landscape of parallel lines. The river channel, the transport routes and the compact town plan are set against wide empty space. The result is a restrained image of one of Turkey's highest and coldest regions.
The upper Euphrates, known locally as the Karasu, winds along the valley past the town. On the poster it is a soft, meandering line in a landscape that is otherwise orderly.
The highway and the railway both follow the valley toward Erzurum. Their long parallel lines cut across the map and emphasise the town's position on an old route.
Past the last streets, the land opens into fields and mountain slopes. This leaves generous white space around the compact town at the centre.

Why Aşkale
Aşkale is a meaningful place for those who were born there, served there or travelled the road toward Erzurum. A map remembers it without sentiment. Use the title for the town's name or your own wording, and add a year or a short message in the subtitle.
For the high plateau, Sand and Paper give a warm, earthy tone. Classic black & white and Noir are more striking, and Blueprint draws out the transport lines. You can buy the $9 HD files or order a matte print, with an optional wooden frame.
