The map
Masina is one of the communes that make up Kinshasa, the capital of the Democratic Republic of the Congo. It lies east of the city centre on the road toward the international airport. From above, it is one of the most closely built parts of the city. Small plots and narrow streets form a fine, even mesh, and only a few larger roads cross it.
The main boulevard running east from central Kinshasa passes along the commune and is the clearest line on the map. To the north, the land drops toward the low, marshy ground along the Congo River and Pool Malebo. The street network becomes looser there, broken by open patches and water. To the south, Masina merges with neighbouring communes without a visible boundary.
A Masina map poster shows a part of Kinshasa that is lived in more than it is visited. The pattern is dense and repetitive, a pale background of countless short streets with a few firm lines of main roads. Printed large, the fine texture looks almost like fabric, and the long eastern boulevard holds it together.

The main road east from central Kinshasa toward the airport runs along the commune and forms the strongest line on the page.
To the north, the land drops toward the wetlands along the Congo River, and the streets thin out into open ground.
