Wide, regular grid
The town is laid out in straight streets and roomy blocks, with plenty of space between buildings. On the poster it reads as a calm, well-spaced geometric pattern.

The map
About this Grootfontein map poster
Grootfontein, meaning great spring in Afrikaans, lies in the Otjozondjupa Region of north-eastern Namibia. Together with Tsumeb and Otavi it forms the area known as the Otavi triangle, a relatively green and well-watered part of the country. From above, the town has the broad, orderly layout of many Namibian centres, with wide streets and generous plots.
The history of the town is visible in the old fort, the Alte Feste, built during the German colonial period and now a museum. Grootfontein is also the nearest town to the Hoba meteorite, which lies on a farm to the west and is the largest known meteorite on Earth.
A Grootfontein map poster shows the regular blocks of the centre, the residential areas around them and the main roads heading north toward Rundu and the Kavango. The sharp edge where the grid ends and the open bush begins is one of the clearest features of the frame.

Gateway to the north
Main roads leave Grootfontein toward Rundu and the north-east, as well as south toward Otavi. The long straight lines stretch across the map beyond the town edge.
Town and bush edge
Where the streets stop, the landscape opens into farmland and savanna. That clear boundary between the grid and the bush gives the composition its strong outline.

Why Grootfontein
A map that means something
Grootfontein is a stopover for travellers heading to Etosha, the Kavango or the Hoba meteorite, and home for many families in the north. Its clean grid prints very well, and the poster is an unusual reminder of a Namibian journey or a hometown.
Personalise the title, subtitle and coordinates line, for example with the date of a trip or a farm name. Then choose Classic black & white, Noir, Paper, Blueprint or Sand. Sand suits the colours of the landscape.
