The map
Khashm al Qirbah lies on the Atbara River in Al Qaḑārif State in eastern Sudan. The town is closely tied to the Khashm el Girba Dam, completed in the 1960s, which created a reservoir on the river and fed irrigation for the New Halfa agricultural scheme to the north-west.
That scheme is known for resettling Nubian communities from Wadi Halfa after their homes were flooded by Lake Nasser following the construction of the Aswan High Dam. On the map, the river, the reservoir and the canal network form the main structure, drawn across a flat, open landscape.
A Khashm al Qirbah map poster records a place where water engineering reshaped a region. It is a meaningful piece for families with roots in the area, for those connected to the New Halfa resettlement, and for anyone interested in the rivers of the Nile basin.
The Atbara runs past the town on its way toward the Nile, its course widened into a reservoir above the dam and narrowing again below.
The dam crosses the river near the town, a short, firm line on the map that marks where the reservoir ends and controlled flow begins.
Canals lead away from the river toward the New Halfa farmland, their straight courses drawing long, deliberate lines across the otherwise open plain.
