The map
Songwŏn lies in Chagang Province, in the rugged interior of northern North Korea. This is some of the most mountainous terrain on the peninsula. From above, settlement follows the valleys, and the town takes the shape the land allows, stretching along the flatter ground beside a watercourse rather than spreading outward evenly.
Few details about the town are widely published, so the map itself tells most of the story. Roads run along the valley bottom, and side roads branch into narrower folds between the hills. Beyond them the land is almost entirely steep and wooded, with little room for building.
A Songwŏn map poster shows a long, narrow town, with its lines crowded together where the valley allows and absent where the slopes rise. The contrast between that dense ribbon and the empty surrounding space makes for a striking, spare composition.
Streets and buildings fill the flatter land along the valley and create an elongated shape that follows the terrain instead of a simple grid.
A watercourse runs through the valley and gives the town its main axis. Roads and settlement run close beside it.
Steep ridges hem the town in on either side and leave broad, empty areas on the map that frame the streets tightly.

Why Songwŏn
This is a print for someone with a personal tie to the region, or for a collector of remote, rarely mapped places. Its shape comes straight from the geography, which gives it a character of its own.
The title, subtitle and coordinates line can all be personalised. Five styles are available: Classic black & white, Noir, Paper, Blueprint and Sand. Noir suits the narrow valley especially well.
