The map
About this Foumban map poster
Foumban lies on a plateau in Cameroon's West Region, surrounded by rolling highland countryside. From above, the town is centred on the royal palace and its grounds, with roads converging on it from several directions and neighbourhoods spreading out across gentle slopes. The street pattern is irregular, following the land rather than a grid, and thins into farmland at the edges.
Foumban is the historic capital of the Bamum kingdom. The palace was built in the early twentieth century under Sultan Ibrahim Njoya, who also created the Bamum script, one of the few writing systems invented in Africa. The town is known for its craftsmen, particularly bronze casters and wood carvers, whose workshops have made Foumban a centre of Cameroonian art.
A Foumban map poster shows a town organised around a single royal centre, with the palace grounds as a clear open space and streets radiating outward. It is a map with a strong sense of focus, and it suits anyone connected to the Bamum people, the town or its artistic traditions.
