Valley alignment
The whole town stretches along the valley floor, so its streets share a single direction, giving the map a strong, linear rhythm that is characteristic of mountain settlements.

D'Kaart
Shili lies in the southern part of Gansu Province, in the mountainous country where the Loess Plateau gives way to the ranges of the western Qinling. Here settlements follow the valleys because there is little flat land anywhere else, and the map reflects that: a narrow band of streets aligned with the valley and its road, with slopes rising close on either side.
In this kind of terrain, the town plan is shaped by contour lines as much as by planning. The main streets run lengthwise through the valley, short lanes climb towards the hillsides, and farmland is fitted into terraces and small plots wherever the ground allows. On the print, the empty space of the surrounding hills gives the settlement a clear, elongated silhouette.
Southern Gansu drains towards the upper tributaries of the Yangtze, and its valleys have long served as routes between the Wei River basin to the north and Sichuan to the south. A Shili map poster keeps things simple and accurate: a mountain town reduced to the lines of its streets and waterways, set in a great deal of quiet space.
The whole town stretches along the valley floor, so its streets share a single direction, giving the map a strong, linear rhythm that is characteristic of mountain settlements.
The main road follows the lie of the valley, and like most towns in this terrain, the settlement is organised along it, with smaller streets branching off at intervals.
The steep ground around the town appears largely as open space on the map, a quiet frame that makes the compact built-up area stand out clearly.

Firwat Shili
For people from Shili and its surrounding villages, printed maps of home are hard to find, and this one shows the town as it actually sits in the landscape. It is a personal, understated piece rather than a tourist image.
The title, subtitle and coordinates line are editable, so you can add a family name, a place name in your own words or a meaningful date. Choose Classic black & white, Noir, Paper, Blueprint or Sand, then download or order a print.
