The map
About this Chuka map poster
Chuka lies in Tharaka-Nithi County on the eastern side of Mount Kenya, on the main road between Embu and Meru. Streams running down from the mountain cut the land here into ridges. A map shows the town arranged along the highway, with roads branching onto the higher ground and down toward the valleys.
Chuka is home to Chuka University, whose campus forms a distinct area within the town. It is also a trading centre for the surrounding farms, where tea, coffee and other crops grow on the fertile volcanic soil. Students and market traders set much of the town's daily routine.
A Chuka map poster shows the highway as a firm, curving line, with the town centre gathered around it and a finer network of rural roads following the ridges. The deep stream valleys leave long open bands across the sheet, giving the composition a natural rhythm that is easy to recognise.

University campus

Ridges and streams
Streams coming down from Mount Kenya divide the surrounding land into long ridges. Rural roads follow the crests, creating a distinctive ribbed texture.
