The map

About this Baliwan map poster

Baliwan lies in the east of Gansu province, in the loess hill country that surrounds the upper basin of the Wei River. This landscape is built of fine wind-blown soil, cut by erosion into countless ridges and gullies. For generations farmers have worked it into terraces, and those terraces give the map its most striking quality.

The town sits where the ground is flatter, along a valley floor. Its streets and blocks are compact and follow the valley's direction. Roads leaving the town rise onto the surrounding hills in winding lines. Beyond the built-up area, the map becomes almost pure texture: branching gullies and stepped terraced slopes.

A Baliwan map poster looks unexpectedly beautiful because of this terrain. In black and white, the erosion patterns resemble the veins of a leaf or a river delta turned inside out. The small town at the centre anchors the composition, and the surrounding hills give it an intricate, organic frame.

01

Valley town

The streets of Baliwan follow the flat floor of the valley. This compact built-up area is the densest, most orderly part of the poster.

02

Loess gullies

Erosion has cut deep, branching channels into the surrounding hills. On the map they form intricate tree-like patterns across the sheet.

03

Winding hill roads

Roads climb out of the valley with many turns, following the ridges. Their curving lines link the town to the villages above.

Why Baliwan

A map that means something
