Mining estates
Blocks of identical workers' houses repeat across the town in tidy geometric clusters. They are one of the clearest signatures of the coalfield on a map.

The map
Liévin sits next to Lens in the old coal basin of Pas-de-Calais. From above, its streets merge with those of its neighbours into a continuous urban area. Mining shaped the map here. Workers' estates, known as cités minières, form repeating rows of houses in neat blocks, and old railway lines that once carried coal still trace long curves between the neighbourhoods.
The landscape around the town is marked by terrils, the spoil heaps left by the pits, which now rise as green or black cones. The town is also remembered for the 1974 mine disaster at the Saint-Amé pit, one of the last major accidents in the French coalfield. To the west, the land rises toward the ridge of Notre-Dame-de-Lorette and its First World War memorials.
A Liévin map poster makes this industrial history legible. You can see the regular estate streets, the older town centre, the rail corridors and the open spaces where pits once stood. It is a strong, graphic map for anyone with family roots in the basin.
Blocks of identical workers' houses repeat across the town in tidy geometric clusters. They are one of the clearest signatures of the coalfield on a map.
Former spoil heaps rise around the area as distinct rounded shapes. Today they are landmarks and green spaces rather than industrial waste.
Old and current rail lines curve between neighbourhoods and link Liévin with Lens and the wider basin. They add long sweeping strokes to the composition.

Why Liévin
Many families in northern France trace their story to the mines of Liévin and Lens. A map of the town is a respectful way to mark that heritage, whether it hangs in the north or in a home far away.
You can add a family name, a pit number or a year in the title and subtitle, and edit the coordinates line. Choose Classic black & white, Noir, Paper, Blueprint or Sand to set the tone.
