The lake
About this Ilmen map poster
Lake Ilmen lies in the Novgorod region of northwestern Russia, a wide and shallow body of water in flat, low country. Its outline is rounded but uneven, and the most striking thing on a map is the network of rivers converging on it from the south and east, including the Msta, the Lovat and the Shelon.
Only one river leaves the lake: the Volkhov, which flows north out of its northern tip, passes through Veliky Novgorod and continues toward Lake Ladoga. That single outflow gives the composition a clear direction, with the old city set just downstream on both banks of the river.
An Ilmen map poster shows the lake as the centre of a historic water network. The Volkhov route formed part of the medieval trade connection between the Baltic and the south, and Novgorod grew beside it. On paper, the delta-like southern shore and the one northward channel make a shape that is easy to read and hard to confuse with anywhere else.

Southern river mouths
Several rivers, including the Lovat and the Shelon, reach the lake from the south and west, fraying the shoreline into channels and low wetland.
Novgorod on the river
Just downstream of the lake the city straddles the Volkhov, its streets clustering on both banks close to where the river leaves Ilmen.

Why Ilmen
A map that means something
Ilmen belongs to the story of Veliky Novgorod, one of Russia's oldest cities, and to anyone with family ties to the region. A map of the lake and its rivers is a thoughtful way to mark that origin.
