The map

About this Dourbali map poster

Dourbali is a town in the Chari-Baguirmi region of Chad, on the plain southeast of the capital, N'Djamena. It is a local centre for the surrounding villages. From above the town looks spacious. Wide, sandy streets divide the land into large blocks, and walled compounds fill the spaces between them.

The landscape around Dourbali is flat and open, with seasonal watercourses, fields and grazing land. In the rainy season low areas can fill with water, while in the dry months the plain is mostly dry.

A Dourbali map poster shows a very different kind of town from the dense cities of the north. The design relies on space: a modest urban core, a network of tracks spreading out across the plain, and a lot of empty ground around it. The result is simple and restrained.

01

Open street plan

The streets are wide and the blocks are large, so the town looks light on the page. Each road reads as a separate line.

02

Tracks to villages

Unpaved tracks leave the town in every direction, linking it to surrounding settlements. On the poster they look like thin, slightly irregular threads.

03

The flat plain

The countryside around Dourbali is almost completely flat. This leaves wide margins of empty space, which gives the design a calm, minimal quality.

Why Dourbali

A map that means something

For Chadians living abroad, aid workers or anyone with a personal link to Chari-Baguirmi, a map of Dourbali is a rare object. Few places like this are ever drawn at all, so the poster is quietly unique.

You can edit the title, subtitle and coordinates line, for example to add a name or a date that matters to you. Then choose one of five styles. Sand suits the Sahel, and Noir gives the empty plain more depth.
