Valley setting
The town fills a valley floor between ridges, so the built-up area has a long, irregular outline shaped by the land rather than by planning.

The map
Longshan is the seat of Longling County in Baoshan, in the far west of Yunnan province, not far from the border with Myanmar. The town lies in a valley among ranges that fold this part of the province into high ridges and deep river gorges. On a map, the built-up area follows the valley floor, with roads climbing out along the contours of the surrounding hills.
The terrain is so steep that slope, not a planned grid, sets the street pattern. Main roads curve to follow the valley, and smaller lanes branch off onto narrower ground. Farmland and hamlets spread across the lower hillsides. The dense town against the switchback roads beyond gives the drawing an unusually sculptural feel.
The county lies on the route of the historic Burma Road, the wartime supply line built through these mountains in the late 1930s, and some of the fiercest fighting of 1944 took place nearby. A Longshan map poster keeps its attention on the town, but the winding roads on the print carry some of that history with them.
The town fills a valley floor between ridges, so the built-up area has a long, irregular outline shaped by the land rather than by planning.
Roads leaving town bend and switch back as they climb. On the edges of the poster, these winding lines give a strong sense of relief.
Scattered hamlets and lanes on the slopes around the town add fine, irregular detail between the main roads and the open mountainside.
