Contour-following roads
Roads around Kapchorwa bend and loop to follow the steep terrain of Mount Elgon's slopes. That gives the poster flowing, organic lines.

The map
About this Kapchorwa map poster
Kapchorwa sits high on the northern slopes of Mount Elgon in eastern Uganda, in the home area of the Sebei people. The terrain is the main story on the map. Steep ridges and deep valleys run down from the mountain, and roads curve around the contours rather than cutting across them. The town itself is compact, placed on the gentler ground along a main road.
The cool highland climate supports farming on the slopes, including well-regarded Arabica coffee. The region is also famous for long-distance running: Olympic marathon champion Stephen Kiprotich and world record holder Joshua Cheptegei both come from the Kapchorwa area, and the altitude is part of the reason. The Sipi Falls, a popular destination, are on the road up from the plains.
A Kapchorwa map poster captures a mountain town in its setting. There is a small, dense centre, winding roads that trace the landscape, and wide areas of slope and valley around it. It is a map for runners, travellers and families from the Elgon highlands.

Compact town centre
The town's streets gather on the more level ground along the main route. They make a small, clear cluster within the mountainous surroundings.
Elgon slopes
Ridges and valleys descend from the mountain on every side and are used for farming and coffee. On the map they show as open space crossed by winding tracks.
