Lake Bam
The lake stretches north from the town in a long, narrow shape. It is the strongest feature on the sheet and the main reason Kongoussi reads so clearly at this scale.

The map
About this Kongoussi map poster
Kongoussi is the capital of Bam Province in north-central Burkina Faso. It lies near the southern end of Lake Bam, one of the country's few natural lakes. On a map, the town is a cluster of streets and compounds near the water, with roads leading out across open, gently rolling country toward nearby villages and the wider Sahel region.
The lake shapes life here. Its shores are used for market gardening, and the water level changes with the seasons, so the shoreline you see on any map shows a single moment. Beyond the town, the land is mostly farmland and scrub, crossed by tracks and seasonal streams that run toward the lake.
A Kongoussi map poster turns this landscape into a quiet composition: a long band of water, a small grid of streets and a few roads spreading out in different directions. It is a spare map, and that restraint is part of its appeal. There are no famous monuments to point to, only the plain relationship between a town, its lake and its roads.

Town cluster
Streets and compounds form a compact grouping near the water. The pattern is looser than a planned grid and follows the land and the routes leading in from the countryside.
Radiating roads
Roads leave the town toward neighbouring villages and provincial towns. On the map they read as thin lines crossing open ground and connect Kongoussi to the rest of the region.
