The map
About this Beaufort West map poster
Beaufort West lies in the Great Karoo, the vast semi-desert interior of South Africa's Western Cape. On the map, the town is a tidy grid of streets set in open, arid country, with the Nuweveld Mountains rising to the north. The N1 national highway runs straight through the middle as the main street, the town's spine and the reason for much of its traffic.
Founded in 1818, Beaufort West is one of the oldest towns in the Karoo and became South Africa's first municipality in 1837. The heart surgeon Christiaan Barnard was born and grew up here. Just outside town, the Karoo National Park protects the plains and escarpment landscapes that surround it.
A Beaufort West map poster is about contrast. There is the orderly town grid, the long straight line of the N1 and then almost nothing but open ground, dry riverbeds and the edge of the mountains. In black and white, that emptiness becomes space for the eye to rest. It is a minimal print of a place defined by distance.

Town grid
The streets form a regular rectangular pattern. The compact block of blocks sits alone in a wide, open landscape.
Karoo surroundings
Dry riverbeds, open veld and the slopes of the Nuweveld Mountains surround the town. They leave large calm areas on the map and a few fine lines.
