The plateau
The town's centre occupies a raised, relatively level area. Here the street pattern is at its most compact, before the ground falls away in every direction.

The map
About this Médéa map poster
Médéa sits high in the Tell Atlas, south of Blida and the Mitidja plain, at an altitude of roughly nine hundred metres. The town occupies a plateau surrounded by ridges and valleys, and the map shows it clearly: a compact urban core on the higher ground, with roads curling down the slopes in loops and switchbacks toward the countryside and neighbouring towns.
The approach from the north runs through the Chiffa gorges, a narrow mountain pass long known for its steep walls and its population of Barbary macaques. Under Ottoman rule Médéa was the capital of the Beylik of Titteri, one of the provinces of the Regency of Algiers, and the town has remained an important centre of the region since.
A Médéa map poster captures a town shaped by altitude. The streets are denser and more regular on the plateau, then give way to the curving lines of mountain roads and the open spaces of hillside and farmland. It is a composition where the terrain is present even though no contour lines are drawn.

Mountain roads
Roads leave Médéa in winding curves and switchbacks down the slopes. Their looping lines give the poster a sense of movement and height.
Toward the Chiffa
The northern route toward Blida descends through the gorges of the Chiffa. On the map it is a single thread linking the high town to the plain below.
