The map
Tarko-Sale is the administrative centre of the Purovsky District in the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug, just south of the Arctic Circle. It lies where the Pyakupur and Aivasedapur rivers meet to form the Pur, which then flows north towards the Kara Sea. On a map, water defines the town as much as streets do.
The built-up area is compact, a grid of blocks on higher ground by the rivers. Around it lies a landscape of taiga, bogs and countless small lakes, cut by winding channels and oxbows. Roads are few and direct, linking the town to the gas fields that support the regional economy.
Winters here are long and harsh, and much of the ground is affected by permafrost, which shapes how buildings and roads are made. A Tarko-Sale map poster shows the contrast between a small, ordered settlement and the vast, irregular water pattern of the northern plain around it.
Two rivers join beside the town to form the Pur, and their braided channels and sandbars make an intricate, branching shape across the map.
Hundreds of small lakes and bogs surround the settlement, scattering rounded shapes across the frame and making the landscape look almost like lace.
The town's blocks sit close together on higher ground, a small ordered pattern that stands out against the open wetland and forest.
