The map
Tatvan sits on the western shore of Lake Van, the largest lake in Turkey, in the eastern highlands of Anatolia. On the map, the town stretches along the curve of the shoreline, with streets climbing gently inland. To the north rises Mount Nemrut, a dormant volcano whose summit crater holds a lake of its own, one of the largest crater lakes in the world.
Tatvan is a key transport point in the region. The railway from the west ends at its port, where a train ferry carries freight wagons across Lake Van to the city of Van on the eastern shore. The harbour, piers and rail tracks are clearly visible on the map as straight lines extending into the water.
A Tatvan map poster frames the town between water and volcano: the broad expanse of the lake, the curving coastline and the dense streets behind it. It is a composition with dramatic natural boundaries. For anyone who knows eastern Turkey, it is a shape that recalls wide skies and a vast inland sea.
The town follows the curve of the lake's western tip, and the water fills a large part of the poster, giving it a strong open field.
Railway tracks run down to the harbour, where ferries carry wagons across the lake, a rare feature drawn as straight lines meeting the water.
The volcano rises north of the town, and the streets thin out where the ground climbs, leaving open space that hints at the mountain.
