Syr Darya bank
The river winds along the city's southern side, a single meandering line against the straight Soviet avenues and a rare trace of water in the dry steppe.

Baikonur Map Poster & Print
Baikonur was built on the Kazakh steppe to support the Baikonur Cosmodrome, from which Sputnik and Yuri Gagarin were launched. The city was called Leninsk for much of the Soviet period. It is in Kazakhstan but is administered by Russia under a long-term lease. From above, it is clearly a planned town: wide avenues, orderly residential blocks and clear zoning.
The Syr Darya forms the city's southern edge, curving through the otherwise flat, dry landscape. Its river line and green banks are the only irregular element in a mostly geometric plan. North of town, roads and railway lines run out across the steppe toward the launch complexes, which are far enough away to leave large open areas between them and the city.
A Baikonur map poster suits anyone interested in space history, or anyone who lived or worked here. The Soviet grid, the river and the long empty spaces convey the city's purpose without any imagery of rockets. Its layout tells the story on its own: a place built in the desert for a single, very ambitious job.

Planned grid
Broad avenues and regular apartment blocks follow a strict plan, so the city looks orderly and uniform in black and white.
Roads to the pads
Long, straight roads and rail lines leave the city northward toward the cosmodrome's launch complexes, crossing large stretches of empty steppe.
