The map

About this Bla map poster

Bla is a town in the Ségou region of central Mali, on the wide, open savanna between the Niger and Bani river systems. Its importance comes mainly from its position. Bla sits at a road junction where routes toward Ségou, toward San and the north, and toward Koutiala and the south all meet.

On a map the town reads as a knot of streets tied around that junction. The main roads cross near the centre, and the residential quarters fan out in low, fairly regular blocks. Beyond them the flat land opens out almost without interruption, with only tracks and scattered settlements marking the Sahelian landscape.

A Bla map poster is a portrait of connection. The strong lines of the highways dominate, while the town gathers where they meet. It is an understated, graphic composition, well suited to anyone who has travelled these roads, grown up along them or keeps family ties to this part of Mali.

01

Road junction

National roads meet at Bla, and their straight lines cross near the centre of town. They give the poster a clear, strong structure.

02

Low, open blocks

The residential quarters spread out in fairly regular blocks around the junction. They form an even texture across the middle of the map.

03

Sahelian plain

Flat, open country surrounds the town on every side. It leaves wide pale margins that emphasise how the roads run off to the horizon.

Why Bla

A map that means something

Bla is a place many people pass through, and a home for those who stay. A map poster works as a quiet keepsake for someone from the town, or for a traveller who remembers the crossroads and the long roads leading away from it.

You can set your own title, subtitle and coordinates line. Pick one of five styles, Classic black and white, Noir, Paper, Blueprint or Sand, to suit your wall.
