Granite outcrops
Rocky hills and boulder fields rise between neighbourhoods, leaving unbuilt islands in the street network and forcing roads into curving routes around them.

The map
About this Jos map poster
Jos sits on the Jos Plateau in central Nigeria at an elevation of about 1,200 metres, high enough to give it a noticeably cooler climate than most of the country. The land is broken by granite hills and boulder outcrops, and the city's streets bend around them, so the map has an irregular, organic texture rather than a neat grid.
The city grew in the early twentieth century around tin mining, and the industry left behind a landscape of former pits, many now filled with water as ponds and small lakes scattered around the outskirts. Jos is the capital of Plateau State and home to a national museum and a wildlife park on the edge of town.
A Jos map poster captures a place shaped by altitude and geology. Rocky hills appear as empty patches among the built-up areas, roads trace the valleys between them, and the water-filled mining ponds add small, unexpected shapes near the edges. The result looks quite unlike other Nigerian cities, with a distinctly upland character.

Former mining ponds
Water-filled pits left by decades of tin mining dot the surrounding landscape and appear on the map as small, irregular lakes beyond the dense centre.
Plateau road network
Main roads follow the valleys and ridges of the plateau rather than a planned grid, giving the city an organic, branching outline that is easy to recognise.

Why Jos
A map that means something
Jos is remembered for its cool air, its rocky hills and the schools that drew students from across Nigeria. A map of the plateau city is a personal way to honour that time or to mark family roots in Plateau State, at home or in an office.
You can personalise the title, subtitle and coordinates, and choose among Classic black & white, Noir, Paper, Blueprint and Sand. Each $9 download includes a 300 DPI PNG and a print-ready PDF for every size, up to 24×36″.
