The map
Kax lies in the Ili region of northwestern Xinjiang, in the valley of the Kax River, one of the main rivers that feeds the Ili. Mountain ranges of the Tian Shan rise on both sides. From above, the town lies along the valley floor, with farmland and river channels stretching east and west between steep slopes.
The river shapes the map. It often splits into several braided channels across a wide floodplain, and the town's streets form a regular pattern beside it. Roads follow the valley, because the mountains leave few other routes. In monochrome, the smooth valley floor, the busy town and the dense relief of the slopes become three clear textures.
The Ili valley is known for its grasslands, orchards and mountain pastures, which differ from the deserts found elsewhere in Xinjiang. A Kax map poster shows one part of that greener landscape. It suits people from the valley, travellers who crossed it by road, and anyone who likes maps where the river and the mountains set the terms.
The Kax River spreads into several channels across its floodplain. Their interlaced lines are the most distinctive feature of the whole composition.
The town's streets form a fairly regular grid on the flat valley floor. Its order contrasts sharply with the natural lines of river and slope.
Tian Shan ridges rise on both sides of the valley. They frame the scene and push roads and fields into a long, narrow band.
