Valley setting
The city fills a basin between surrounding ridges, and the empty space of the hills on nearly every side frames the street pattern like a natural border.

The map
Kohat sits in a valley in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, south of Peshawar, surrounded by ridges that close in on most sides. On a map the hills appear as a blank ring around the urban area, and the city spreads across the flatter valley floor between them. Seasonal streams cross the land in shallow beds, and the main roads leave the valley through gaps in the hills, giving the plan a clear sense of enclosure.
The layout has two distinct characters. The older city has irregular, closely packed streets and bazaars, while the cantonment built during the colonial period follows a more open arrangement of wide roads, straight avenues and larger plots. Seen together, the dense core and the orderly cantonment create a strong contrast in line weight, which is exactly what a black-and-white print picks up well.
Kohat is known for the Kohat Pass on the route to Peshawar, and for the road tunnel later cut through the hills there, which shortened a difficult mountain journey. The city has long served as a military and administrative centre for its district. A Kohat map poster keeps the focus on the valley itself: the compact streets, the cantonment grid and the hills that define its edges.
The city fills a basin between surrounding ridges, and the empty space of the hills on nearly every side frames the street pattern like a natural border.
Tight irregular lanes in the old centre sit beside the broader, straighter roads of the cantonment, two street patterns that give the map its internal contrast.
The main road north towards Peshawar climbs out of the valley towards the Kohat Pass, a line on the map that marks the city's historic role as a crossing point.

Why Kohat
Kohat is a place many people have lived in for a posting, studied in or left behind for work elsewhere. A clean map of its valley is a way to keep that connection visible without turning it into a souvenir.
The title, subtitle and coordinates line can all be set to your own words, including a year or a family name. Choose Classic black & white, Noir, Paper, Blueprint or Sand; Blueprint suits the cantonment geometry, while Paper feels warmer and softer.
