Hilltop old quarter
The historic core is a knot of narrow, irregular streets on raised ground, much denser than anything else on the map and easy to pick out.

The map
About this Mascara map poster
Mascara sits on a slope in north-western Algeria where the Beni Chougrane hills meet the open plain to the south. From above, the older part of the town is a dense patch of short, irregular streets on high ground. Newer districts spread outward in looser, more regular blocks, and main roads leave the centre toward Oran, Sidi Bel Abbès and the interior.
The town has a firm place in Algerian history. In 1832 Emir Abdelkader was proclaimed leader of the resistance to French rule on the plain outside Mascara, and for a time the town served as his capital. Later the surrounding hills and plain were known for vineyards and grain, and the countryside around the town is still mostly farmland.
A Mascara map poster shows the difference between the tight old quarter and the open land around it. The streets bunch together where the ground is highest and loosen as they run down the slope. Beyond the last blocks, roads and field tracks stretch out in thin straight lines across the plain, which gives the print a strong sense of place.

Plain of Ghriss
To the south the town opens onto a wide, flat agricultural plain crossed by long straight roads, a big area of calm empty space in the composition.
Radiating highways
Several main roads leave the centre in different directions and link Mascara to Oran and to other towns of the western Tell.

Why Mascara
A map that means something
This is a map for people with roots in western Algeria, or for anyone drawn to the story of Emir Abdelkader. The hillside streets and the plain below give the print a clear structure that works in a living room or a quiet reading corner.
You can personalise the title, the subtitle and the coordinates line with a name, a date or a few words in any language you like. Five styles are available: Classic black & white, Noir, Paper, Blueprint and Sand.
