Winding streets
Streets follow the slopes rather than a grid, curving and doubling back as they climb. This gives the centre of the poster a dense, flowing texture.

The map
Jiuchi is a town in the municipality of Chongqing, near Wanzhou in the Three Gorges region along the Yangtze. The land here is steep and folded, and settlements follow the ground closely. On the map, streets rarely run straight for long. They bend along the slopes, climb between terraces and gather wherever the land is flat enough to build on.
The rise of the Yangtze behind the Three Gorges Dam reshaped the whole region. Old riverside towns were flooded, and much was rebuilt on higher ground. Around Jiuchi, roads trace long switchbacks up and down the hillsides, and the surrounding land is divided into small, irregular plots. On paper the result is a winding web of lines rather than a regular grid.
A Jiuchi map poster shows a side of Chongqing far from the dense towers of the city centre, in the hill country along the Yangtze. It appeals to people who grew up in the area and now live in Chongqing, Chengdu or the coastal cities, and to anyone interested in how mountains shape a town. In black and white, the winding lines become the whole subject.
Streets follow the slopes rather than a grid, curving and doubling back as they climb. This gives the centre of the poster a dense, flowing texture.
Roads leave the town in long switchbacks across the hills. They are the clearest sign of the steep land, even in a flat black-and-white drawing.
Around the settlement, small irregular fields and tracks cover the slopes, filling the outer area of the map with a fine, uneven pattern.

Why Jiuchi
For people from Jiuchi, the poster keeps the shape of a home town that may have changed a great deal in recent decades. For others, it is simply a striking study of how mountains draw their own lines.
You can personalise the title, subtitle and coordinates line, for instance with a family name or the year you left. Choose from Classic black & white, Noir, Paper, Blueprint and Sand, as $9 HD files or a printed matte poster.
