Ridge-top streets
The town follows the line of the ridges, so the streets run along crests and bend with the terrain. The resulting outline is long and irregular, not round or square.

The map
Piñas is in the upland part of El Oro Province in southwestern Ecuador, on the western slopes of the Andes above the coastal lowlands. The town is built along ridges and hillsides, and on a map its streets follow the terrain. They run along crests and bend down slopes, which gives the whole place an irregular, elongated outline.
The mountains around Piñas are covered in humid forest, and cloud forest reserves in the area are well known to birdwatchers for species found in few other places. The town itself is a regional centre for the surrounding farming communities, linked by winding roads that descend toward the coast and climb further into the highlands.
A Piñas map poster shows how a town adapts to steep ground. There is no regular grid, just streets placed wherever the ridges allow, with valleys falling away on either side. In monochrome the tight centre and the looping roads leaving it make a composition with a strong sense of height, even on a flat sheet of paper.
The town follows the line of the ridges, so the streets run along crests and bend with the terrain. The resulting outline is long and irregular, not round or square.
The roads out of Piñas switch back through the hills toward the coast and the highlands. On a wider view they appear as long, looping lines crossing the valleys.
Around the town the map opens into steep, green valleys with very few roads. They frame the built-up area and hint at the cloud forest beyond.
