The map
Sosnovoborsk stands on the right bank of the Yenisei, a short distance from Krasnoyarsk in central Siberia. It was founded in 1971 as a settlement for workers at a new truck trailer plant and received city status in 1985. Its name comes from the pine forest, the sosnovy bor, that surrounds it, and on a map the town looks like a clearing cut into the woods.
The layout is typical of late Soviet planning: large residential microdistricts of apartment blocks set around courtyards, wide main avenues and a separate industrial zone. The streets are broad and orderly, but the blocks are placed as free-standing shapes rather than lined up along traditional streets, which gives the plan a distinctive, modular look.
A Sosnovoborsk map poster shows a town designed from scratch in a single era, framed by the forest and the great river nearby. The contrast between the geometric microdistricts and the dense surrounding woodland makes it a clean, graphic image, especially in the stricter styles.
Residential areas are laid out as groups of large apartment buildings around shared courtyards, creating repeating geometric clusters that are easy to recognise from above.
Woodland presses in on almost every side of the town, so the built-up area appears as a well-defined island on the map, surrounded by open space.
The broad Yenisei flows past the town on its way through the Krasnoyarsk region, and a wider frame brings in its wide channel and islands.

Why Sosnovoborsk
Sosnovoborsk is young enough that many residents remember it being built, and some helped build it. A poster with a custom title, the year a family arrived or the coordinates of a first apartment makes that history personal.
Blueprint suits the planned geometry of the town, and Classic black and white, Noir, Paper and Sand offer other moods. The $9 download includes six print sizes from 30×40 cm to 24×36 inches, each as a 300 DPI PNG and a PDF.
