The map
Ferdows lies in South Khorasan, in eastern Iran, on a plain between desert basins and arid mountain ranges. From above, the town is a patch of streets and gardens in a wide dry landscape. Roads run out across open ground, and green areas mark where water has been brought to the surface. Historically the town was known as Tun and was a stop on routes across the Iranian plateau.
In 1968 a series of powerful earthquakes struck the region and badly damaged the old town. Much of Ferdows was rebuilt afterwards, which is why its map includes more regular, planned blocks next to older, less even fabric. The contrast is easy to see from above: straighter streets in the newer quarters, and irregular lanes where older patterns survive.
A Ferdows map poster captures a town shaped by water and by rebuilding. The surrounding plain leaves plenty of empty space, and the grid-like new quarters give the centre a clear geometry. It works especially well in the Sand style, where the desert setting comes through without any colour.
After the 1968 earthquakes much of the town was reconstructed. Straighter, more regular blocks now sit beside the looser pattern of older lanes.
Dry, open land surrounds the town on all sides. Roads cross it in long straight lines, and the built-up area stands out as a compact island.
Irrigated gardens and farmland cluster near the town. They mark the places where water supports settlement in an otherwise arid region.

Why Ferdows
Ferdows means something specific to people from South Khorasan and to anyone interested in how Iranian towns live with desert and earthquakes. A clean map of the rebuilt town is a quiet way to honour that history.
You can personalise the title, subtitle and coordinates line, for example with a family name or the year you left. Choose from Classic black & white, Noir, Paper, Blueprint or Sand. Printed posters come on matte paper, with an optional wooden frame.
