The map
Xiaoshi lies in the mountainous east of Liaoning province, in the Benxi area, where the land folds into steep, wooded ridges. The town could not spread in all directions, so it follows the valley floor. From above it forms a narrow band of streets along the river and the main road, with slopes rising close behind the last buildings.
This gives the map a long, stretched shape instead of a round centre. The roads run parallel to the river for most of their length, with short cross streets linking them and a few routes climbing into side valleys. Beyond the town the map empties into terrain, where only thin tracks thread through the hills.
Eastern Liaoning is known for its forests, rivers and autumn colour, and Xiaoshi sits well within that landscape. It is a place better known to the people who live there than to outsiders. A Xiaoshi map poster keeps its form simple and accurate: a town following its river, shaped by the mountains around it.
The river runs the length of the town and sets its direction, with the main streets tracing its curves along the flat valley floor.
Instead of a central grid, the town stretches into a narrow corridor, with parallel roads and short connectors that give the map an elongated form.
Steep ground rises on either side, so the built-up area ends abruptly and the surrounding map stays open and quiet.

Why Xiaoshi
For people from Xiaoshi who now live in Shenyang, Dalian or further away, this map shows the valley where they grew up. The clean, elongated shape looks good on its own, even to someone who has never visited.
Personalise the title and subtitle, perhaps in your own words or with a meaningful date, and edit the coordinates line. Choose Classic black & white, Noir, Paper, Blueprint or Sand, as a $9 digital download or a printed poster.
