The map
Yekaterinburg was founded in 1723 as an ironworks, and the dam built to power it still defines the centre. The Iset River was held back to create the City Pond, a long body of water running north–south through the historic core. The old dam, known as the Plotinka, is now a pedestrian space and the city's natural meeting point.
Around it, the centre follows a largely regular grid of wide streets, while the Iset continues south from the dam in a narrow course. Lake Shartash lies to the east, and forest surrounds much of the city. Yekaterinburg sits in the Ural Mountains, a short distance from the conventional boundary between Europe and Asia.
A Yekaterinburg map poster captures this unusual structure: a city organised around a factory pond rather than a river bend or harbour. The long strip of water in the middle, the ordered blocks on either side and the scattered lakes at the edges make for a composition that is calm, symmetrical and distinctive.

Why Yekaterinburg
Yekaterinburg is a major university and industrial centre, and many who study or work there eventually move on. A map of the city, centred on its pond and dam, is a thoughtful way to remember those years or to mark a family's roots in the Urals.
