The railway
Rail lines cross the town and continue across the isthmus. They are the longest, straightest lines on the poster and the reason the town grew here.

The map
Ixtepec lies on the Isthmus of Tehuantepec in Oaxaca, the narrowest part of southern Mexico between the Gulf and the Pacific. The land here is broad and low, so the town spreads out in a regular grid with few natural obstacles. On the map, rail lines are the strongest feature, cutting through the urban area and heading off across the plain.
The town has long been tied to the railway across the isthmus. In recent years it has become known as a stop for migrants travelling north on freight trains, and as the home of a migrant shelter founded by the priest Alejandro Solalinde. The area is also Zapotec country, and local traditions remain strong here.
An Ixtepec map poster captures a town shaped by movement. Tracks and roads cross it in long lines. The grid fills the space between them, and at the edges the streets give way to the open, low-lying land of the isthmus.
Rail lines cross the town and continue across the isthmus. They are the longest, straightest lines on the poster and the reason the town grew here.
On flat ground the streets settle into an even pattern of blocks. The result is a calm, orderly texture across most of the town.
Low, open land surrounds the town. It leaves wide pale margins and lets the roads run far out toward neighbouring communities.
