Contour-led roads
Instead of following a grid, the roads here track the lie of the land, curving along valley floors and around spurs, which gives the poster a loose, almost hand-drawn quality.

A small Chongqing town traced in fine lines, its roads bending around the ridges and valleys of the eastern Sichuan Basin.

In pariete



Tabula
Xinsheng sits in the northeastern reaches of Chongqing Municipality, where the land rises and falls in long folds rather than lying flat. From above, that terrain decides almost everything: roads follow the contours instead of cutting across them, buildings gather where a valley widens, and farm plots step up the slopes in narrow bands. The result is a plan that feels drawn by the ground itself rather than by a surveyor.
Like many towns in this part of China, Xinsheng has a compact centre where streets run closer together, then loosens quickly into lanes, field boundaries and scattered hamlets. Small streams and ponds appear as thin threads and irregular patches between the hills. On a monochrome print, this contrast between a dense core and a wide, textured countryside becomes the main subject, and it reads clearly even at a small scale.
A Xinsheng map poster suits someone who knows the place first-hand: a family home, a school, a route walked many times. We keep the rendering sparse so the pattern of roads and terrain stays legible, without labels crowding the sheet. It is a quiet way to keep a specific corner of Chongqing on the wall, far from the skyline images the municipality is usually known for.
Instead of following a grid, the roads here track the lie of the land, curving along valley floors and around spurs, which gives the poster a loose, almost hand-drawn quality.
The built-up core shows as a denser knot of short streets, a clear anchor that the eye finds first before moving outward into the surrounding countryside.
Beyond the town, field boundaries and small bodies of water form a fine texture across the slopes, adding depth to the print without needing any labels.

Cur Xinsheng
People hang a map of Xinsheng because it is rarely drawn with any care elsewhere. For anyone with roots in the town or its villages, seeing its streets and hills laid out cleanly can feel more personal than a photograph, and it shows visitors where you come from.
The title, subtitle and coordinates line can all be changed, so you might add a family name or the year you left. Choose from Classic black & white, Noir, Paper, Blueprint or Sand, download the HD files for $9, or order a matte print with an optional wooden frame.
