Darbandikhan Dam
The dam across the Sirwan gorge is the anchor of the map. It is a short, straight line holding back a large body of water, with the town's streets gathered just below and beside it.

Map
From above, Derbendîxan sits where the Sirwan River, also known as the Diyala, leaves a narrow gorge in the ridges of eastern Iraqi Kurdistan. The town's streets fill the lower ground between steep slopes. The contour of the land shapes the plan more than any grid does, so roads curve with the valley and stop where the hills get too steep.
The defining feature is the Darbandikhan Dam, built in the late 1950s and early 1960s. It holds back a long reservoir that spreads through the valleys upstream. On a map the lake reads as a pale, branching shape, its edges running into side valleys like fingers. Next to it the town looks compact, a cluster of blocks at the reservoir's southern end.
A Derbendîxan map poster sets that relationship down in black and white: the engineered wall of the dam, the water it holds, and the settlement tucked between them. The border with Iran lies not far to the east. The surrounding hills show up as open ground broken by a few winding roads, so the town's own streets stand out even more clearly against the landscape.
The dam across the Sirwan gorge is the anchor of the map. It is a short, straight line holding back a large body of water, with the town's streets gathered just below and beside it.
The lake behind the dam doesn't form a simple oval. It follows the drowned valleys, so its outline spreads into irregular arms that make a striking pale shape against the surrounding land.
Steep ground limits where the town can grow. Its roads bend along the slopes and the riverbanks, which gives the plan an organic, contour-led look instead of a planned grid.

From wanem Derbendîxan
This is a map for people with roots in the Sulaymaniyah hills, or for anyone who has driven the mountain roads to the lake. It holds a town, a river and a piece of twentieth-century engineering in one frame, and the pale water gives the composition a strong centre.
You can set your own title, subtitle and coordinates line, for example a family name or a year that matters. Choose from Classic black & white, Noir, Paper, Blueprint or Sand. Download HD files for $9 or order a printed poster, with an optional wooden frame.
