Desna floodplain
Below the town, the Desna meanders through wide meadows scattered with oxbow lakes and backwaters, a loose, organic pattern across the lower map.

On the wall



The map
Novhorod-Siverskyi lies in the north of Chernihiv Oblast, close to Ukraine's border with Russia. The town sits on high ground above the right bank of the Desna. From above, the difference is striking: streets and blocks crowd along the upper bank, while below them the river winds through a broad floodplain of meadows, oxbow lakes and side channels that the map shows as open, irregular shapes.
This was the seat of the medieval Principality of Novgorod-Seversky. Its best-known prince, Ihor Sviatoslavych, led the campaign of 1185 described in The Tale of Igor's Campaign. The Transfiguration Monastery, with its walled precinct, stands on the edge of the town above the river. The monastery and the old citadel site remain the historic heart of the town.
A Novhorod-Siverskyi map poster captures the old logic of a fortified river town: build high, watch the water, let the lowland flood. The street pattern follows the edge of the terrace, and the Desna fills the lower part of the frame with loops and still water. It is a map that makes sense of the town's history without needing a single label.
Below the town, the Desna meanders through wide meadows scattered with oxbow lakes and backwaters, a loose, organic pattern across the lower map.
The walled Transfiguration Monastery forms a compact, clearly outlined enclosure on the high ground at the town's edge above the river.
Streets follow the line of the high right bank, so the built area forms a band along the slope instead of a round town centre.
