Dispersed compounds
Instead of continuous blocks, the town is made of separate family compounds. On the map they appear as small clusters scattered across the ground, each linked to the next by a thin track.

The map
Kokologo sits on the open plateau of Burkina Faso's Centre-Ouest region, roughly between Ouagadougou and Koudougou. From above the town has no tight core. It loosens into clusters of family compounds, each a small knot of buildings, linked by unpaved tracks that fan out towards fields and neighbouring villages.
The land here is almost level, so the map's lines come from people rather than terrain. Footpaths and cart tracks cross the fields at easy angles, and a few broader roads cut straighter lines through them. In the rainy season, shallow depressions and seasonal streams mark faint curves across the plain, then fade again as the dry months return.
A Kokologo map poster shows a pattern that looks nothing like a European street grid. It is a dispersed web of paths and settlements, the way much of rural West Africa is actually laid out. On paper that looseness turns into a quiet, almost textile texture, with dense patches where compounds gather and open space everywhere else.
Instead of continuous blocks, the town is made of separate family compounds. On the map they appear as small clusters scattered across the ground, each linked to the next by a thin track.
Unpaved roads leave town in several directions towards fields and nearby villages. Seen from above, they read as a loose starburst of lines across the plateau.
The flat savanna around Kokologo leaves a lot of empty space on the poster. That emptiness is part of the picture and makes the few lines that cross it stand out.

Why Kokologo
For people with family roots in Boulkiemdé province, or who have lived and worked in the area, this map records a place that rarely appears on printed maps at all. The sparse pattern also works simply as a piece of graphic art.
You can personalise the title, the subtitle and the coordinates line, so a family name, a year or a village can go on the poster. There are five styles: Classic black & white, Noir, Paper, Blueprint and Sand. Sand suits the colour of the laterite especially well.
