The Lhasa River
The river runs the length of the valley and splits into several channels in places across the flat ground. It gives the map its main flowing line.

The map
Maizhokunggar, also written Meldro Gungkar, is a county seat east of Lhasa in the Tibet Autonomous Region. It sits in the valley of the Lhasa River, well above 3,500 metres, and from above the settlement is long and narrow. It is pressed between the river and the mountainsides, with the main road running along the valley floor toward the east.
The road through town is part of the long highway that links Lhasa with eastern Tibet and Sichuan, and it shapes almost everything on the map. Streets branch off it in short, regular blocks. Fields line the flatter ground by the water, and beyond them steep, mostly empty slopes define the valley.
A Maizhokunggar map poster is spare by nature. Instead of a dense grid, it shows a single ribbon of settlement following water and road through a very large landscape, which gives the print a calm, open feel. It means a lot to travellers who passed through on the way east from Lhasa, and to anyone with personal ties to the valley.
The river runs the length of the valley and splits into several channels in places across the flat ground. It gives the map its main flowing line.
The road from Lhasa passes straight through town and acts as its spine. Most streets connect directly to it, so the whole settlement reads as one linear form.
Mountain slopes rise close on both sides and leave large blank areas on the poster. That emptiness is part of the picture and conveys the scale of the high plateau.

Why Maizhokunggar
A map of a place this remote is often a keepsake of a journey, a posting or a family origin. The minimal lines suit a landscape defined by one river, one road and a great deal of open ground.
Personalise the title and subtitle, perhaps with the date you crossed the valley, and keep or edit the coordinates line. Choose from five styles, then download 300 DPI PNG and PDF files in six sizes, or have the map printed on matte paper by a partner near you.
