Valley-floor town
The built-up area follows the valley, so the core is long rather than round, and its main road runs along the lowest line of the land.

The map
Tange is a town in south-eastern Gansu Province, in the loess uplands of north-west China. This landscape is made of fine, wind-deposited soil that has been cut into ridges and deep gullies by water, and farmed for centuries on hand-built terraces. Settlements tend to sit on valley floors, where the land is flattest and roads can pass.
From above, the town has a compact core that stretches along the valley, and roads follow the lowest ground instead of going straight. Outside town, the map becomes a pattern of winding lanes that climb along the contours to hillside villages. The street network is irregular in a way that directly reflects the terrain.
A Tange map poster is a portrait of a town shaped by its ground. The print contrasts the denser valley settlement with the thin, curving lines of the loess hills, and it suits anyone with roots in this part of Gansu or an interest in its landscape.
The built-up area follows the valley, so the core is long rather than round, and its main road runs along the lowest line of the land.
Beyond town, lanes wind along ridges and around gullies to reach villages. Their loops and switchbacks give the print a hand-drawn quality.
The surrounding slopes are heavily terraced for farming. Even when the terraces themselves are not drawn, the road pattern clearly shows how folded the terrain is.

Why Tange
For families from Tange now living in Lanzhou, Xi'an or further away, a map of the town and its valley is a reminder of home and of the hills that frame it. It is personal without being sentimental.
