The poplar grid
Straight streets cross at right angles across the whole town, a nineteenth-century plan that remains remarkably intact and gives the map an almost diagrammatic clarity.

The map
Karakol Map Poster & Print
Karakol was founded in 1869 as a Russian military and administrative outpost near the eastern shore of Lake Issyk-Kul. Its planners gave it a strict rectangular grid, and the map still shows long, straight streets crossing at right angles, many of them lined with poplars and old wooden houses. To the south the land rises quickly toward the snowy ridges of the Terskey Ala-Too.
The town is known for two unusual religious buildings: the wooden Holy Trinity Cathedral and the Dungan Mosque, built in the style of a Chinese temple without metal nails. For much of the Soviet period Karakol was named Przhevalsk, after the explorer Nikolai Przhevalsky, who died here in 1888 and is buried at a memorial near the lakeshore.
A Karakol map poster shows an orderly town on the edge of a vast landscape. River valleys lead out of the grid into the mountains, where trekking routes and a ski base draw visitors, while roads run toward the lake. In black and white, the regular streets and the loose outlines of the valleys create a strong, balanced composition.

Mountain valleys
South of the town, valleys such as the Karakol gorge open into the Tian Shan. They carry roads and trails from the grid toward alpine lakes and high passes.
Toward Issyk-Kul
Roads and mountain streams lead toward the eastern end of Issyk-Kul, one of the largest high-altitude lakes in the world, connecting the town with the shore.
