Roan Antelope mine
The mine that gave the town its reason for being occupies a large area beside it. On the map its shafts, plants and roads form broad, angular shapes against the surrounding bush.

About this Luanshya map poster
Luanshya lies in the south of Zambia's Copperbelt, on gently rolling plateau country threaded by the Luanshya River. From above, the town is a collection of distinct parts rather than one continuous grid: a central business district, planned residential townships with curving streets, and the large footprints of mine shafts, plants and tailings areas. Bush and farmland fill the spaces in between.
It is one of the oldest mining towns in the Copperbelt. According to a well-known story, the copper deposit here was identified in 1902 when a prospector shot a roan antelope and noticed copper ore beneath it, giving the Roan Antelope mine its name. The town grew up around that mine in the 1920s and 1930s.
A Luanshya map poster traces the layered story of a company town: the main roads, the mine areas in broad strokes, and the residential neighbourhoods with their curving crescents and open spaces. In black and white, the different textures of industry, housing and open land become clear and legible.

Planned townships
Residential areas were laid out with curved streets, crescents and open spaces typical of mid-century company towns. From above they create an orderly but gentle pattern.
Luanshya River
The small river winds through the area, with vegetation along its banks. It softens the poster's industrial lines and adds a natural curve to the composition.

Why Luanshya
A map that means something
Many people have ties to Luanshya through the mines, whether they grew up there, worked there or have parents who did. A map of the town is a meaningful reminder of those years, whether it hangs in Zambia, South Africa or the United Kingdom.
The title, subtitle and coordinates line can all be personalised, perhaps with a township name or the years a family lived there. Choose one of five styles: Classic black & white, Noir, Paper, Blueprint or Sand; Blueprint fits the mining story especially well.
