The map
Bloemhof lies in North West province on the northern bank of the Vaal River, which here forms the border with the Free State. The town is laid out in a straightforward grid, but the map is dominated by water. Just upstream, Bloemhof Dam holds back the Vaal to create a large reservoir whose arms reach across the flat Highveld.
The dam is one of the larger reservoirs in South Africa. It is popular for angling, and a nature reserve lies along its shores. Around the town, the land opens into wide farmland and grassland, crossed by long straight roads.
A Bloemhof map poster balances a small regular town with a broad, irregular body of water. Bridges and roads lead across the river toward the Free State. In black and white, the reservoir's branching outline becomes the striking centre of an otherwise quiet sheet.
The reservoir on the Vaal spreads across the landscape with long, branching arms. It is the largest and most distinctive shape on the poster.
The river runs past the town and marks the boundary between North West and the Free State. Road crossings link the two provinces.
Bloemhof's centre is a simple grid of streets, typical of small Highveld towns. It sits neatly next to the water's more fluid forms.
