Valley-floor streets
The built area follows a narrow strip of level ground, so streets run in long bands rather than a grid, giving the map an elongated, flowing form.

The map
About this Dashu map poster
Dashu is a small town in the mountainous northeast of Chongqing municipality, in the rugged country north of the Yangtze near the Three Gorges. In this landscape, level ground is scarce, and settlements follow whatever valley floors and gentler slopes the terrain allows. Roads twist through the hills to reach them, often doubling back on themselves as they climb.
The map shows a settlement shaped almost entirely by relief. Streets run in narrow bands along the valley, buildings crowd close to the main road, and the network ends abruptly where slopes become too steep to build on. Switchback roads leave town as tight, looping lines, and the open space around them hints at the ridges that dominate the region.
A Dashu map poster is a meaningful object for people who grew up in the mountains of eastern Chongqing and later moved to the city or abroad. Its composition is unusual among town maps: long, thin and sinuous rather than square, a direct record of how mountains dictate the shape of daily life.

Mountain roads
Roads leaving Dashu wind through the hills in tight curves and switchbacks, some of the most expressive lines in the whole composition.
Steep surroundings
Around the town, open space marks the ridges and slopes of eastern Chongqing, framing the settlement and emphasising how little flat land there is.
