The map
About this Sovetsk map poster
Sovetsk, in the Kaliningrad region, was known for centuries as Tilsit. It lies on the south bank of the Neman, and the river is the defining feature of its map: a wide channel running along the northern edge of the town, with Lithuania on the opposite shore.
The Queen Louise Bridge crosses the Neman here, and its restored portal is the town's best-known landmark. Tilsit is remembered for the treaties of 1807, when Napoleon and Tsar Alexander I famously met on a raft moored in the river. The name also survives in Tilsit cheese.
A Sovetsk map poster shows an older central European street pattern, long avenues parallel to the river, and the flat meadows of the Neman lowland across the water. The border running down the middle of the river gives the print a quietly striking composition.

Queen Louise Bridge
The bridge crossing the Neman connects the town with the Lithuanian bank, a single straight line spanning the water at the heart of the map.
Old Tilsit streets
The centre keeps the layout of the German-era town, with long streets following the river and a denser grid of blocks behind them.
