Contour roads
Roads curve around hills and along valleys rather than running straight. That gives the map a flowing, organic line pattern that stands out in black and white.

The map
Shima is a town in the Chongqing municipality, in the hilly country west of the city. From above, the terrain shapes everything. The landscape is made of low, rolling hills and narrow valleys, and the town's streets settle on the flatter ground, while roads between villages curve around slopes instead of running straight.
Much of the land around the town is farmed. Terraced fields step down hillsides, and small ponds and reservoirs are scattered through the valleys, seen on the map as small irregular shapes of water. These features give the surrounding area a fine, layered texture that contrasts with the denser, more regular streets at the centre of the town.
A Shima map poster reflects this character without needing a famous landmark. It shows a compact town core, the curving country roads leaving it, and the pattern of fields and water across the hills. It is a typical landscape of the eastern Sichuan Basin, and very personal to the people from there.
Roads curve around hills and along valleys rather than running straight. That gives the map a flowing, organic line pattern that stands out in black and white.
Small bodies of water scattered through the valleys add soft irregular shapes. They break up the terrain and give the map points of focus.
Denser streets at the centre form a tight cluster on the flatter ground, a clear contrast with the open farmland and hills around it.
