River valley
The river runs through the centre of the town and sets its direction. Streets follow its course, giving the poster a long, flowing shape.

About this Qiaotou map poster
Qiaotou lies in the mountainous south of Gansu province, a region of deep valleys and steep ridges far from the dry plains of the north. In country like this, towns grow where the valley floor is wide enough, and the map shows exactly that: a long, narrow strip of streets following the river, with hills rising close on both sides.
The name Qiaotou means bridgehead, and places with this name usually grew near a river crossing. On the map, the river and the road running beside it are the backbone of the town, with short side streets climbing a little way up the slopes before the terrain takes over.
A Qiaotou map poster is shaped by the land more than by planning. The result is an elongated, flowing composition, very different from the grids of Chinese plains cities. For people with roots in this part of Gansu, it shows the familiar feeling of a town held between mountains.

Narrow built strip
Steep slopes on both sides confine the town to the valley floor, so the settlement reads as a thin band rather than a broad block.
Mountain roads
Roads leaving the valley twist and follow the terrain, drawing winding lines that contrast with the straighter streets of the town centre.

Why Qiaotou
A map that means something
Many people from the mountain towns of southern Gansu now live and work in larger cities. A map of the valley where they grew up is a simple, meaningful thing to hang at home or give to parents.
Add your own title, subtitle and coordinates line, perhaps a family name or a line in Chinese characters. Then choose Classic black & white, Noir, Paper, Blueprint or Sand. Paper and Sand bring out the softness of the valley.
