The map

About this Katanda map poster

Katanda is a locality in North Kivu, in the east of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, on the plains that stretch south of Lake Edward toward the volcanic highlands. The surrounding area lies in the broad region of Virunga National Park, Africa's oldest national park, and the map around the settlement is dominated by open land rather than dense streets.

From above, the settlement appears as a cluster of lanes and small compounds gathered around the main road, with tracks leading out into farmland and savanna. Rivers flowing toward Lake Edward cross the landscape, and the terrain rises gradually toward the hills and volcanoes further south. The contrast between a small built-up core and wide, open land is the defining feature.

A Katanda map poster is a minimal, almost sparse composition, well suited to the style of the prints. A few roads, the fine lines of watercourses and the edges of cultivated plots are enough to describe the place, and the space around them gives the poster an airy, spacious feel.

01

Main road

The principal road through the area forms the backbone of the map, with the settlement's lanes and compounds gathered close along it.

02

Plains toward Lake Edward

Open grassland and farmland extend around the settlement toward Lake Edward, leaving broad unmarked areas that give the poster a calm, spacious balance.

03

Rivers and streams

Watercourses crossing the plain draw thin, meandering lines across the sheet, a gentle counterpoint to the straighter tracks and field edges.
