The map

About this Kita map poster

Kita lies in western Mali, in the Kayes region, on the historic Dakar–Niger railway between Kayes and Bamako. The town grew around the line, and on a map its streets form a loose grid of wide, unpaved roads and large residential compounds. Beyond them is open savanna, broken by the steep sandstone massif that rises just outside the town.

The surrounding area has long been known for groundnut and cotton farming. Kita is also home to a Catholic basilica that draws a national pilgrimage each year, an unusual role for a town in a mostly Muslim country, and the region has deep roots in Malinke musical traditions.

A Kita map poster shows a town laid out with plenty of space: broad streets, large blocks and the firm line of the railway, set against the mass of the hill. It is a simple, strong composition and a meaningful keepsake for anyone with ties to western Mali.

01

Kita massif

The rocky upland rises beside the town, and on the map it appears as a large empty area that the streets curve around. It is the town's defining landmark.

02

Railway line

The old Dakar–Niger line cuts straight through Kita. It is the firmest line on the map and the reason the town took its present shape.

03

Open compound grid

Wide roads frame large blocks of family compounds, so the street pattern has an open, airy texture quite unlike denser cities.
