Residential areas form an irregular web of lanes and enclosed plots, looser and more organic than a planned grid.

The map
Médina Gounas lies in the Kolda region of southern Senegal, close to the border with Guinea and Guinea-Bissau. The land here is flat, open savanna. From above, the town appears as a broad spread of compounds and lanes, with a few main routes connecting it to Vélingara and the surrounding villages.
The town was founded in the 1930s as a religious community by Thierno Mouhammadou Saïdou Ba. It is known across West Africa for the Daaka, an annual spiritual retreat that draws large numbers of pilgrims to a camp in the bush nearby. That tradition gives the place a significance far greater than its size alone would suggest.
A Médina Gounas map poster is a quiet record of a place many people know through faith, family or pilgrimage. The street network is shown without clutter, so the proportions of the town come through clearly. Even in plain black lines, the map conveys a place built around a community rather than around industry or trade.
Residential areas form an irregular web of lanes and enclosed plots, looser and more organic than a planned grid.
A handful of main routes leave the town toward Vélingara and nearby villages, giving the map its few long, straight lines.
The built-up area gives way quickly to open land, leaving plenty of empty space around the town on the print.
