Tabula
Bafut lies in the North-West Region of Cameroon, a short drive north of Bamenda, in the high, rolling country known as the Grassfields. It is the seat of one of the region's best-known traditional kingdoms, ruled by the Fon of Bafut, and the town is organised less as a grid than as a spread of quarters, compounds and farms linked by roads across hills and valleys.
At its heart stands the Fon's palace, a large complex of traditional buildings that includes the sacred Achum shrine and has been proposed for UNESCO World Heritage status. Bafut also has a place in English literature: the naturalist Gerald Durrell stayed here with the Fon in the late 1940s and described the visit in his book The Bafut Beagles.
A Bafut map poster shows how a traditional capital sits within its landscape. The palace area forms a focal point, roads curve across the hills toward surrounding villages, and the fine lines of streams and footpaths fill the valleys between them. In monochrome it reads as a quiet, detailed portrait of Grassfields country.
The palace complex forms a distinct enclosure near the centre of Bafut, a historic group of buildings and courtyards that anchors the whole map.
Roads and settlements follow the ridges and slopes of the Grassfields, while streams run through the valleys, giving the poster a layered, flowing structure.
The main road south to Bamenda links Bafut with the regional capital, a clear line that ties the kingdom to the wider North-West Region.
