The map
Bohicon lies in the Zou department of southern Benin, just a few kilometres from Abomey, the historic capital of the Kingdom of Dahomey. The town developed as a transport hub where major roads cross and where the railway from Cotonou passes north, and its map reflects that role, with streets radiating from junctions and the rail line running through the centre.
The town is known for its large regional market, one of the most important in the country, drawing traders from across Benin and neighbouring countries. Its closeness to Abomey, where the Royal Palaces are a UNESCO World Heritage Site, makes Bohicon a common stopping point for visitors to the region.
A Bohicon map poster shows a town shaped by movement: main roads in several directions, the straight railway and neighbourhoods filling the spaces between. In a minimalist style, these lines create a clear, strong design that captures the character of a crossroads town in West Africa.
Major roads meet in Bohicon, linking it with Cotonou to the south, northern Benin and neighbouring towns, and their meeting points structure the town's map.
The railway from the coast runs through the town in a long straight line, a clear feature on the map and a reminder of Bohicon's role as a transport hub.
The area around the large regional market is one of the densest parts of town, with a tight network of streets serving traders and visitors.
