Hill-shaped streets
Instead of a grid, the town's roads trace the contours of the surrounding hills, producing soft curves and irregular blocks that give the map an organic, hand-drawn quality.

The map
About this Shima map poster
Shima belongs to Chongqing, the vast municipality on the eastern side of the Sichuan Basin where almost nothing is flat. Seen from above, the town is shaped by terrain first and planning second. Streets curve to follow ridgelines and valley floors, and the built-up area fits into the gaps the hills allow rather than spreading evenly in every direction.
Around the centre the land breaks into small plots and terraces, many cut into slopes over long periods of cultivation. Roads loop and switch back to connect scattered villages, and minor streams gather in the low ground between rises. The result on paper is dense with curves, a very different texture from the rectilinear towns of the northern plains.
A Shima map poster is quiet but intricate. It does not rely on a famous skyline or a single landmark; its interest lies in the way lines respond to landscape, each road a record of where building was possible. For anyone with roots in this corner of Chongqing, it is a recognisable fingerprint of home.

Terraced slopes
Farmland around Shima steps across the hillsides in small parcels, and their boundaries add a fine, layered texture to the outer parts of the poster.
Valley streams
Small watercourses run through the low ground between the hills, and roads often follow them, tying the scattered settlements of the area into one network.

Why Shima
A map that means something
Chongqing's smaller towns are often left out of the story told about the city, yet they are where many families began. A print of Shima gives that origin a place on the wall, drawn with enough detail to find a street you remember.
Personalise the title and subtitle, add a date or a name, and keep or edit the coordinates. Pick Classic black & white, Noir, Paper, Blueprint or Sand. The digital files cost $9 and include every print size, or you can order a finished matte poster.
