The map
Al ‘Idwah is in Minya governorate in Middle Egypt, in the narrow strip of fertile land along the Nile. Life here depends on irrigation. On a map, the town is a dense cluster of streets and buildings surrounded by fields divided into many small plots and crossed by canals.
The old core is compact, with narrow and irregular lanes typical of Egyptian country towns. Around it, newer streets are slightly more regular. Beyond the town, canals and drains run in long lines through the farmland. Farther out, the green valley stops abruptly at the edge of the desert, one of the most striking boundaries on any map of Egypt.
An Al ‘Idwah map poster shows the basic pattern of the Nile valley in miniature. There is a dense town, a fine mosaic of fields and a network of water channels. In black and white, the canals and field boundaries become a delicate drawing around the town.
Irrigation canals and drains cross the farmland in long lines. They are the main structuring elements of the landscape around the town.
The town's older core is made up of tightly packed, irregular lanes. It is the darkest and most detailed part of the poster.
Small plots of irrigated land surround the town. They create a fine texture that fills much of the map around the built-up area.
