Historic grid
The old centre is laid out in straight, parallel streets that form neat rectangular blocks. It is one of the easiest features of the map to read.

The map
About this Yelets map poster
Yelets stands on the Bystraya Sosna River in Lipetsk Oblast and is among the older towns of central Russia, first mentioned in the chronicles in 1146. On a map, the river winds through the town in a deep valley. The historic centre sits on the high ground above its bank, and later districts spread out across the plateau beyond.
The centre follows a regular plan of straight streets and rectangular blocks, a legacy of the replanning of many Russian provincial towns in the late eighteenth century. Above it rises the Ascension Cathedral, designed by Konstantin Thon, the architect of the Cathedral of Christ the Saviour in Moscow. Its domes can be seen from far across the valley.
Yelets is also known for its bobbin lace, a craft with a long local tradition. A Yelets map poster sets the clear grid of the old town against the looping river and the ravines that cut into the slopes. The drawing balances order and landscape and reads well at every print size.

Sosna valley
The Bystraya Sosna winds through a deep valley below the town. Its curving course and wooded banks cut a strong natural line across the composition.
Cathedral hill
The Ascension Cathedral stands on high ground at the edge of the centre, overlooking the river valley. It is a landmark the streets seem to lead toward.

Why Yelets
A map that means something
Yelets appeals to people who know old provincial Russia: the grid of low houses, the river below, the domes on the skyline. For those born here, it is a map of school routes and river walks, drawn with the restraint the town itself suggests.
