Dense old quarters
The oldest part of town is a tight mesh of lanes and compounds. On the poster it becomes a rich, detailed texture at the centre.

The map
About this Gwarzo map poster
Gwarzo lies in the west of Kano State in northern Nigeria, some distance from the city of Kano, and serves as the headquarters of the local government area of the same name. The landscape around it is flat Sahelian savanna, with farmland and scattered settlements linked by long roads across open country.
On the map, the town forms a compact nucleus. Older quarters appear as a dense weave of small, irregular lanes, while newer areas at the edges show wider, straighter streets. Main roads leave the centre in several directions, stretching out across the plain toward neighbouring towns and villages.
A Gwarzo map poster emphasises that contrast between density and openness. The heart of the town is intricate and close-knit, the surroundings spare and quiet. In black and white, the pattern reads almost like a textile at the centre, fading into clean lines as it moves outward across the savanna.

Radiating roads
Several main roads head out from Gwarzo across the plain. They draw long, clean lines that give the composition its structure.
Open savanna
Beyond the town, the map is mostly empty, with occasional tracks and villages. This open space frames the town and keeps the design uncluttered.
