Sambre bends
The Sambre curves through the valley, dividing Châtelet from Châtelineau. It is the main flowing line of the poster and ties the two banks together.

The map
About this Châtelet map poster
Châtelet sits on the Sambre River just east of Charleroi, in the province of Hainaut. The river runs through the area in broad bends, and Châtelet's older centre sits on one bank, facing Châtelineau on the other. Streets cluster tightly near the river and bridges, then spread up the valley sides into terraced housing and later residential areas.
Like much of the Charleroi region, Châtelet grew with coal mining and heavy industry. On a map, that past shows in the railway lines and the large, irregular industrial sites along the valley floor, some of them now empty. Between these large parcels and the dense rows of workers' housing, the map has a strong, varied character that reflects a whole era of Belgian industry.
A Châtelet map poster centres on the Sambre and the bridges that link the two towns. The curving river, the rail corridors and the tight residential streets form a layered, graphic composition, well suited to a black-and-white style.

Why Châtelet
A map that means something
Châtelet means something to families who worked in its mines and factories and to people who grew up on either side of the Sambre. A map of the town shows its real, working shape, and it makes a strong piece for a home or a gift.
Set a custom title, subtitle and coordinates, perhaps with a family name, and choose Classic black & white, Noir, Paper, Blueprint or Sand. Noir suits an industrial town well. Order HD files for $9 or a printed poster.
