The map
Jinding lies in Lanping County in the Nujiang area of north-western Yunnan, in the rugged mountain country between the great river gorges of the region. It is best known for its lead-zinc deposit, one of the largest in China, and the town's development has been closely tied to the mine.
From above, the terrain determines everything. The built-up area follows the valley floor and the lower slopes, with streets running in narrow strips wherever the land allows. Winding roads climb away from the town, and the mining area forms large, stepped shapes in the hillsides nearby.
A Jinding map poster is a study in how a settlement fits into mountains. Tight clusters of streets, long switchback roads and broad empty areas of slope and forest make a composition that is quite unlike a lowland town. The result is spare, dramatic and precise.
The town follows the shape of its valley, with streets arranged in long, narrow bands where the ground is flat enough to build.
The lead-zinc workings leave terraced, geometric forms on the nearby hillsides, which read clearly against the natural terrain.
Roads leave the town in tight curves and switchbacks, drawing expressive, looping lines across the steep country around it.
