White Nile channels
The river divides around the island, and its broad channels form the defining edges of the map, giving the settlement a clear, elongated silhouette.

About this Al Jazeera Aba map poster
Al Jazeera Aba, known in English as Aba Island, lies in the White Nile in central Sudan, north of the twin towns of Kosti and Rabak. The island is long and narrow, stretching with the course of the river, and on a map its outline is defined entirely by water: channels of the Nile flowing along either side, with farmland and settlements between them.
The island holds a special place in Sudanese history. In 1881 Muhammad Ahmad declared himself the Mahdi here, beginning the movement that went on to take Khartoum a few years later. Aba remained a centre for his followers, the Ansar, and it is still closely associated with the Mahdist tradition.
An Al Jazeera Aba map poster shows a landscape of unusual simplicity: an island shape, a few roads running along its length, clusters of houses and irrigated fields, and the broad river on all sides. The composition is spare and balanced, and the water gives it a natural frame that needs no further ornament.

Island-length roads
Roads run along the length of the island, connecting its villages and fields, and appear as long lines that echo the direction of the river.
Riverside fields
Cultivated land lines the banks where water is close at hand, forming a band of fields between the river and the more built-up clusters.

Why Al Jazeera Aba
A map that means something
For Sudanese families with roots on the island, and for anyone interested in the history of the Mahdiyya, this map holds real meaning. In difficult times a picture of home can matter a great deal, and the subtitle can carry a name, a verse, or a date.
Choose Blueprint to emphasise the river, or Classic black & white, Noir, Paper or Sand for other moods. The $9 download includes six print sizes with no watermark, and a free 900 px preview lets you check the composition before you buy.
