The map
About this Nima map poster
Nima is the seat of Maqu County in the Gannan Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, on the high grasslands in the south-west of Gansu. The town stands at well over three thousand metres, in open, rolling pastureland. The Yellow River flows nearby as it makes one of its great bends across the plateau, before turning back north.
The town itself is compact: a few main streets with government buildings, shops and housing, and smaller lanes around them. Beyond that, the map becomes a wide expanse of grassland crossed by the meandering channels of the river and its tributaries. Herding has long shaped life in this region, and the town serves as a gathering point for the surrounding pastoral communities.
A Nima map poster shows a small, orderly street pattern in a very large, open landscape. The looping, braided lines of the river and its wetlands contrast with the town's straight streets, and the print stays calm and uncluttered in black and white.

Compact town grid
The centre is a small, regular pattern of streets. It stands out sharply against the empty grassland around it.
Open grassland
High pastures spread out in every direction. On the map this becomes generous white space, which conveys the scale of the plateau.
