The map
Deneysville lies on the southern shore of the Vaal Dam, one of South Africa's largest reservoirs, which forms part of the boundary between the Free State and Gauteng. On a map the town's most striking feature is the water: an irregular shoreline of bays and headlands, where flooded valleys meet the gentle grasslands of the Highveld.
The town takes its name from Deneys Reitz, the soldier, writer and politician. Its holiday houses and residential streets reach down toward the water, and yacht and boating clubs occupy several points along the shore. Inland, a separate residential area sits a short distance from the lakeside grid, which gives the map two clearly distinct clusters of streets.
A Deneysville map poster is shaped largely by the reservoir. The broad, empty surface of the dam fills much of the frame, the shoreline becomes a long, intricate line, and the streets gather along it. It is a composition of open water and land, with an unusual amount of negative space.
The dam's edge folds into many small bays and points where the reservoir flooded old valleys. It draws a long, complex outline around the town.
Clubhouses, jetties and slipways sit along the water's edge. They mark the town's long link with sailing and weekend boating on the Vaal Dam.
Beyond the streets the land opens into flat grassland and farmland. The empty surroundings make the lakeside settlement stand out clearly on the map.

Why Deneysville
Weekends on the water, a family holiday house, a first sailing race: Deneysville is tied to memories that people from Johannesburg and beyond carry for years. A map poster of the shoreline keeps those places together in one simple image.
You can add your own title, a subtitle such as a club or house name, and a date, and edit the coordinates line. Pick Classic black & white, Noir, Paper, Blueprint or Sand. Blueprint's cool tone makes the dam a strong, clear shape.
