Lakes and wetlands
Broad lakes and marshy ground lie close to the city. In black and white they become large, softly edged areas that contrast with the harder lines of the streets.

About this Daye map poster
Daye is a county-level city under Huangshi in eastern Hubei, a short distance south of the Yangtze River. The land around it mixes low hills with lakes and wetlands, including a lake that shares the city's name. From above, the town sits between these features, its streets stretching along the flatter ground between water and slopes.
Mining has shaped Daye for thousands of years. At Tonglüshan, just outside the city, archaeologists found ancient copper mine shafts and smelting sites dating back to the Bronze Age, now preserved as a museum site. In the late nineteenth century the Daye iron mine became a key supplier of ore to the Hanyang Iron Works in Wuhan.
That long industrial history still shows on the map, where quarries, spoil areas and mining sites leave unusual shapes at the edges of town. A Daye map poster combines the ordinary street pattern of a Chinese county city with lakes on one side and the traces of mining on the other.

Tonglüshan site
The ancient copper mine near the city is one of the best-known early mining sites in China. On a wider crop it appears among the hills just outside the urban area.
Mining landscape
Pits and worked hillsides around the city leave irregular shapes on the map. They give the composition an unusual texture that reflects Daye's long industrial past.
