Lake shoreline
The city faces the water along a curving coast. Lake Balkhash fills a large part of any map of the town and gives it a strong edge.

Balqash Map Poster & Print
Balqash sits on the northern shore of Lake Balkhash, surrounded by the dry steppe and semi-desert of central Kazakhstan. The map is framed by the lake's shoreline, which curves around a shallow bay. Streets are laid out in the broad, regular blocks typical of Soviet city planning, with wide avenues and large courtyards between apartment buildings.
The city was founded in the late 1930s around a copper smelting plant, and the industrial complex still covers a large area on the edge of town. Lake Balkhash itself is unusual: its western part is almost fresh water while the eastern part is salty, the two halves joined by a narrow strait.
A Balqash map poster places a planned city in a very large empty landscape. The grid is tidy and legible, the industrial zone forms a solid block beside it, and the lake fills much of the frame with open water. The stark setting makes for one of the more graphic compositions a map poster can offer.

Soviet planned grid
Wide avenues and large, regular blocks structure the residential districts. The pattern is easy to read at any print size.
Copper works
The smelting complex that the city was founded around occupies its own large area. Rail lines and roads connect it to the rest of town.

Cur Balqash
Tabula quae aliquid significat
Many families across Kazakhstan and beyond have a connection to Balqash through its industry. A map of the city is a precise and unsentimental way to honour that history. The open lake looks especially good in the Blueprint and Noir styles.
Personalise the poster with a title, a subtitle and the coordinates of the shore. Then choose from Classic black & white, Noir, Paper, Blueprint or Sand. Download the HD package for $9, or order a matte print with an optional wooden frame.
