The reservoir
The dam lake fills much of the map with a large, irregular shape. Its many inlets reach into the surrounding savanna and give the print its main visual weight.

The map
About this Kompienga map poster
Kompienga lies in the Est region of Burkina Faso, close to the border with Togo. Its defining feature is the reservoir created by the Kompienga dam, a hydroelectric project on a tributary of the Oti River. From above, the lake spreads in long branching arms across flat savanna, and the town sits close to its shore.
The dam was completed in the late 1980s and supplies electricity to the national grid. The reservoir has also made the area a centre for fishing. The town is spread out and low-rise, with dirt roads linking homes, fields and landing points along the water. The protected wildlife areas of eastern Burkina Faso lie not far away.
A Kompienga map poster is unusual in that the water does most of the design work. The irregular outline of the reservoir, with its inlets and islands, stands against the sparse lines of roads and tracks. The result looks closer to a natural chart than a city plan.

The dam
The dam is a short, straight structure holding back a very large body of water. On the map it is one of the few precise man-made lines in a mostly natural landscape.
Savanna tracks
Beyond the town, thin roads and tracks cross open land to fields, villages and the shoreline. Their loose, branching pattern leaves the frame light and open.

Why Kompienga
A map that means something
For people who worked on the dam, grew up by the lake or simply know this corner of Burkina Faso, Kompienga is a distinctive place. Its map has an abstract, almost sculptural quality, and it works well as a quiet piece of wall art.
You can personalise the title and subtitle and adjust the coordinates line, for example with a family name or a special date. Five styles are available: Classic black & white, Noir, Paper, Blueprint and Sand. Digital files include six sizes, each as a 300 DPI PNG and a print-ready PDF.
