The map
Muling lies in the south-east of Heilongjiang province, not far from the border with Russia. The town stretches along the valley of the Muling River, from which it takes its name, and the map shows how closely the terrain controls its shape. The built-up area follows the river in a long, narrow band, with ridges and wooded hills rising on both sides.
Within the valley floor, streets are laid out in a fairly regular pattern and cross the river on several bridges. Beyond the edges of town the landscape turns to farmland on the flatter ground and forest on the slopes, a pattern repeated across this part of north-east China.
Winters here are long and cold, and the river stays frozen for months. A Muling map poster records a northern town defined by its river and hills, a composition that reads well in minimalist black and white because the terrain gives the streets such a clear outline.
The river gives the town its name and its shape, winding through the valley and forming the central line along which streets and neighbourhoods are arranged.
Built-up areas stretch along the valley floor in a long, narrow band, giving the poster an elongated form quite different from the compact towns of the plains.
Wooded ridges rise on both sides of the valley, drawn on the map as open areas crossed by few roads, framing the town on either side.
