The lower Don
The river runs along the northern edge of town, wide and slow. It gives the poster a strong curve and separates the grid from the wetlands beyond.

The map
Azov sits on the left bank of the Don in Rostov Oblast, a few kilometres before the river breaks into its delta and enters Taganrog Bay. On the map the Don sweeps along the town's northern side, and beyond it lies a flat maze of channels, reed marsh and islands. The streets on the bank form a fairly regular grid.
The town's history is a history of the fortress. Greeks, Genoese traders and the Ottomans all held a stronghold near the river mouth. In 1695 and 1696 Peter the Great campaigned here to gain access to the south, and the capture of Azov became an early milestone in building the Russian navy.
Parts of the old earthen ramparts survive near the river and are still visible as angular lines in the town plan. An Azov map poster shows how much of the town's story is written into its geography. It sits at the last firm ground before the river loosens into water and wetland.
The river runs along the northern edge of town, wide and slow. It gives the poster a strong curve and separates the grid from the wetlands beyond.
Remains of the old earthworks survive near the riverbank. On the map their angular outline stands out against the plain rectangles of the surrounding streets.
West of the town the river splits into a network of channels and marsh. It adds fine, branching detail to one side of the print.

Why Azov
Azov suits people from the lower Don, military history readers and anyone drawn to river towns. The combination of a clear grid, an old fortress outline and a delta beyond makes the map rewarding to look at up close.
Personalise the title, subtitle and coordinates, for example with a family name and a year, or write the name in Cyrillic. Noir and Blueprint give the river strong contrast. HD files are $9, and printed posters with optional frames are also available.
