The Gargar channel
This artificial branch of the Karun runs along the eastern side of the old town. Its straight, even course stands out clearly from the natural curves of the main river beside it.

The map
About this Shūshtar map poster
From above, Shūshtar sits on a low plateau with water on almost every side. The Karun River curves along its western edge, and the Gargar channel, cut by hand centuries ago, runs down the east. The old quarter fills the ground between them as a dense cluster of short lanes. Newer districts spread out across the flat Khuzestan plain around it.
The town is known for its historical hydraulic system, now a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It is a network of weirs, tunnels, canals and mill channels that has been diverting the Karun since antiquity. On a map, that engineering shows up as unusually precise lines of water set against the looser pattern of the streets. Where the channels meet the cliffs, the watermills still line the rock face.
A Shūshtar map poster reduces all of this to line and space. The two waterways enclose the old town like brackets, bridges and dams cross them at deliberate points, and the grid of the newer town fades out into farmland. The result reads as much like a diagram of water management as a portrait of a city.

Island old town
The historic core sits on raised ground between two bodies of water. It shows up on the map as a compact, tightly drawn block of lanes framed by river and channel.
Weirs and bridges
Old dam-bridges cross the Karun at the edge of town. They are some of the few places where the street network reaches the far bank, and they show up as sharp cross-strokes.

Why Shūshtar
A map that means something
For people from Khuzestan, or anyone who has walked past the watermills, this map works as a quiet record of a place built around water. It also suits engineers and historians who care about how cities work, not only how they look.
You can personalise the title, subtitle and coordinates line, for example with a family name or the date of a visit. Then choose from five styles: Classic black & white, Noir, Paper, Blueprint or Sand. Blueprint fits the hydraulic story particularly well.
