The map
Emali grew up along the main corridor between Nairobi and Mombasa, and the map shows that plainly. The highway cuts through the town in a long straight line. Shops, lodgings and markets cluster along it, and residential streets spread out on either side in a looser pattern that fades into the open savanna of Makueni County.
The town is also a junction. A road branches off south toward Loitokitok and the country around Amboseli and the Chyulu Hills, so Emali serves as a turning point for travellers and traders. The Standard Gauge Railway passes nearby as well, adding a second strong line through the landscape beside the old road.
Around the built-up area the land is dry and wide, with scattered homesteads, tracks and seasonal watercourses marking the ground. An Emali map poster captures a town shaped entirely by movement, a place where routes meet and cross on a wide plain.
The main road runs straight through the centre and organises everything around it. It is the defining stroke of the composition.
A road splits away southward toward the Amboseli region, giving the town its role as a crossroads on the plains.
Beyond the last streets, sparse tracks and homesteads fade into dry land, leaving generous white space around the town.

Why Emali
Emali is a place many people know from the road, a stop on countless journeys to the coast or toward Kilimanjaro. For those who live here or come from here, a map of it is a statement that this crossroads is home.
The poster can carry your own title, subtitle and coordinates in one of five styles. Choose the $9 HD download in six print sizes, or order a matte print, framed if you like, from partners in more than 30 countries.
