The map
Bandiagara stands on a sandstone plateau in central Mali, in the Mopti region. On a map, the town looks like a loose cluster of compound walls, sandy lanes and a few wider roads. Fields and bare rock surround it, and seasonal streams run across the plateau. A short distance to the east, the land drops away at the Bandiagara Escarpment, a cliff line that runs for about 150 kilometres.
The escarpment and the plain below are the heart of the Dogon country, and together they form a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Villages built into the cliffs and granaries set against the rock have made the area known around the world. Bandiagara itself has long served as the main town and market for the plateau.
A Bandiagara map poster captures a town on the edge of one of West Africa's most remarkable landscapes. In black and white, the irregular compounds, the tracks leading off across the plateau and the open ground around them form a sparse and quietly striking composition.
The town sits on open sandstone ground, its compounds and sandy lanes forming an irregular cluster surrounded by fields and exposed rock.
Tracks and roads head east across the plateau toward the cliffs, linking the town with the Dogon villages along the edge.
Watercourses that flow mainly in the rainy season cross the plateau, drawing faint lines that shape where fields and gardens lie.
