The map
Heba lies in the mountainous south of Gansu province, in a region of steep ridges, loess slopes and narrow valleys that lead toward Sichuan and Shaanxi. In country like this, towns sit on valley floors, and their shape follows the river and the road beside it.
From above, the town is long and narrow. Streets line up along the valley, and short side lanes run up toward the slopes until the ground becomes too steep. Terraced fields and farm tracks cling to the hillsides beyond. The map shows how carefully every flat piece of land has been used.
A Heba map poster suits people who come from this part of Gansu, where mountains shape daily life. The image is spare and exact: a river valley, the town it holds and the folded land around it.
The built area stretches along the flat valley bottom, giving the town an elongated shape that follows the course of the river.
Lanes climb away from the main street only a short distance before the slopes rise, so the layout looks like a comb along the valley.
Terraces and winding tracks cover the surrounding slopes, a detailed texture that fills the map beyond the town.

Why Heba
A map of Heba keeps a mountain hometown in view for people who have moved to Lanzhou, Xi'an or further away. Its linear shape makes a striking picture on its own terms.
You can add a family name, a date or Chinese characters to the title and subtitle, adjust the coordinates, and choose Classic black & white, Noir, Paper, Blueprint or Sand.
