Streets on the ridges
Roads follow the tops and flanks of the hills, producing curving lines and irregular blocks that trace the terrain rather than a planned grid.

The map
About this Butembo map poster
Butembo is a city in North Kivu, in the eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo, lying almost on the equator yet high enough to have a mild, cool climate. It has grown into one of the region's major commercial centres, with traders linking the surrounding farms and towns to markets in East Africa. The city spread rapidly, and much of its growth is recent.
From above, Butembo follows the shape of its hills. Streets run along ridges and down into valleys, and neighbourhoods fill the slopes wherever the ground allows. A main road passes through the city on the north-south route through the province, and around it a denser commercial centre gives way to looser residential areas and fields.
Around the city, the land is intensively farmed, and the Virunga and Rwenzori mountains lie within the wider region. A Butembo map poster keeps its focus on the city itself: a hillside trading town whose streets trace the landscape, rendered in clean black and white lines that show how people have built across demanding ground.

Commercial centre
The densest part of the map gathers around the main road and central markets, where closely packed streets reflect the city's role as a regional trading hub.
Farmed valleys
Beyond the built-up areas, fields and small settlements cover the valleys, leaving open space that frames the city and emphasises its hillside shape.
