Shāhāda Map Poster & Print

Shāhāda sits in Nandurbar district in the far northwest of Maharashtra, on the banks of the Gomai river. From above, the town reads as a dense core of narrow lanes close to the water, loosening at its edges into newer colonies, school grounds and roads that run out toward the surrounding villages. The river gives the map its clearest orientation, a soft curve against an otherwise irregular spread of streets.

The wider setting is agricultural. The Tapi flows a short distance to the south, and the plain between the two rivers is divided into long field boundaries, irrigation lines and small village clusters. To the north the land begins to rise toward the Satpura range, which forms the horizon of the region and marks the approach to the border with Madhya Pradesh.

On a Shāhāda map poster the contrast between the tight town centre and the open country around it becomes the main subject. Rendered in black and white, the river, the main roads and the scattered settlements form a quiet, balanced composition, closer to a survey sheet than a tourist map, and a fair picture of how a small district town meets its landscape.
