About this Barentu map poster
Barentu is the capital of the Gash-Barka region, in the western lowlands of Eritrea. This is a very different landscape from the highland plateau around Asmara. The land is lower, hotter and more open, with hills and plains cut by seasonal rivers that flow only after the rains.
On the map, the town spreads across its site in loose blocks and clusters. Main roads connect it to other towns in the region and to the highlands to the east. Much of the surrounding area is marked by dry watercourses, which trace pale lines across the land between the settlements. The region is home to several of Eritrea's communities, including the Kunama.
A Barentu map poster shows a town defined by open space and a few strong routes. The streets form a grounded core, and the roads and riverbeds extend outwards across a wide landscape. It is a spare, honest portrait of a regional centre in the western lowlands, with room on the page for the country around it.

Seasonal riverbeds
Dry watercourses cross the area and fill only after the rains. On the poster they add faint, winding lines that contrast with the roads.
Western lowlands
The town sits in the lower, open country of western Eritrea. The wide spaces around it give the design a spacious, quiet feel.
