The map
‘Alem Ketema is a town in the North Shewa Zone of the Amhara Region, in the Ethiopian highlands north of Addis Ababa. Its map is small and direct. A main road runs through the town, and a few side streets and compounds branch off it, before the settlement gives way to open upland farmland.
The town serves as a local centre for the surrounding rural area, and its layout reflects that role. Market spaces, public buildings and houses gather along the main route. The land around it is high plateau, cut in the wider region by river valleys and gorges that drop steeply below the farmland.
An ‘Alem Ketema map poster is a quiet, graphic portrait of a highland town. Its roads are few, so each line matters, and the wide spaces around the settlement give the composition room. It is a meaningful piece for families from the town or for anyone who has lived and worked in this part of Amhara.
The main road runs through the town and gives the map its central axis. Most of the built-up area is arranged along it or close to it.
Streets and compounds cluster tightly around the centre of town. On the poster they form a small, dense area set against a large, open background.
Farmland on the high plateau surrounds the town. In a wider frame, the land's simple, open shapes give the poster a calm and spacious feel.
