The map

About this Bikou map poster

Bikou lies in the south of Gansu Province, in steep mountain country near the borders with Sichuan and Shaanxi. The Bailong River flows through the area, and the town is set in its valley, with little flat land on either side. On a map, the settlement follows the shape of the river closely and forms a long, thin strip.

The Bikou hydropower station dams the Bailong here, and the reservoir behind it fills the gorge upstream. On a poster, the shape of the reservoir, with its irregular, branching banks, contrasts with the narrow ribbon of streets downstream. Roads follow the valley and cling to the mountainsides where the terrain allows.

A Bikou map poster is a portrait of a town shaped by one river and the mountains around it. The steep terrain leaves plenty of open space on the page, and the composition feels sparse and quiet.

01

Bailong River

The river winds through the gorge and determines the town's layout. Streets squeeze into the flat land along its banks.

02

Dam and reservoir

The hydropower dam holds back a reservoir whose irregular banks fill the valley upstream, one of the most striking shapes on the map.

03

Mountain roads

Roads follow the valley and bend around the slopes, adding long curving lines through otherwise empty mountain terrain.
