Contour-following roads
Roads bend around hillsides and along valleys, so the main lines of the map are curves instead of straight axes.

About this Shituo map poster
Shituo is a town within Chongqing municipality, in the hilly country east of the main city. The terrain decides almost everything on the map here. Roads do not run in straight lines. They wind along ridges and valleys, and the built-up area settles into whatever flat ground the landscape allows.
Rendered in black and white, this gives Shituo a very different look from towns on a plain. The streets appear as curving threads, the blocks are irregular, and the edges of the settlement dissolve gradually into scattered buildings and small farm plots on the slopes. Water, where it appears, follows the lowest ground and shapes the lines around it.
A Shituo map poster is a study of a town shaped by its landscape rather than by a plan. It is a quiet, intricate composition, with no single dominant grid, and it reflects the character of much of rural Chongqing, where hills and water have always set the terms for how people build.

Irregular town core
The built-up area fills the available flat ground in uneven blocks, giving the centre an organic, hand-drawn quality.
Scattered edges
The settlement thins gradually into farm plots and isolated buildings on the slopes, so the edge of town fades softly on the map.
