The map
Mersa is a town in the Amhara region of northern Ethiopia, located on the main highway that connects the country's central highlands to the north. On the map, the road forms the backbone of the town, with most streets branching off it in a narrow band before giving way to farmland and hills.
Like many towns along this route, Mersa grew as a market and stopping place for travellers and farmers from the surrounding countryside. Agriculture dominates the area, and the terrain around the town is shaped by highland valleys and slopes.
A Mersa map poster shows a town arranged along a single long road. That linear shape, with short side streets and open space on each side, makes for a simple and elegant composition, a portrait of a place defined by the route that runs through it.
The northern highway runs through the town. On the poster it forms a strong central line from which the rest of the street network grows.
Streets extend only a short distance from the main road, so the town takes a long, narrow shape across the map.
Fields and slopes surround the town. On the print they appear as open space that frames the settlement and emphasises its compact size.
