The map
About this Joal map poster
Joal is part of the commune of Joal-Fadiouth, on the Petite Côte south of Dakar, where the Atlantic shore meets a maze of lagoons and mangrove channels. The mainland town runs along the coast, with a busy fishing beach where wooden pirogues are hauled up on the sand. Behind the shoreline its streets form a loose grid that reaches inland toward the main road.
Across the lagoon lies Fadiouth, an island built largely on accumulated seashells and linked to Joal by a long wooden bridge. A second shell island holds a cemetery shared by the Christian and Muslim communities, which is often cited as a symbol of local coexistence. Joal is also the birthplace of Léopold Sédar Senghor, Senegal’s first president and a celebrated poet.
A Joal map poster sets the straight edge of the ocean against the tangled waterways of the lagoon, with the footbridge drawing a fine line between town and island. For a place of its size, the map has unusual contrasts. It appeals as much to visitors who crossed that bridge as to Senegalese families with roots on the Petite Côte.

Lagoon channels
Behind the coast, mangrove creeks and tidal channels break the land into irregular islands and create the most organic, intricate shapes on the poster.
Fishing shoreline
The Atlantic beach runs along the edge of the town, where fishing pirogues land their catch. The smooth coastline gives the composition a clean outer edge.

Why Joal
A map that means something
Joal speaks to people who remember a particular crossing: the walk over the bridge to Fadiouth, the fishing beach, the light over the lagoon. The map records the route rather than the postcard view.
