The map

About this Miabi map poster

Miabi lies in the province of Kasaï-Oriental in the south-central Democratic Republic of the Congo, not far from the provincial capital Mbuji-Mayi. From above it has little in common with a planned city. Its streets form a loose web that follows the terrain and gradually thins into tracks, fields and patches of woodland on the plateau.

The surrounding Kasai region is known for diamond-bearing gravels, and mining has shaped the economy and the movement of people across this part of the country for generations. On a map this shows up only indirectly, in the unpaved roads and paths that radiate out from the town toward the villages and workings in the countryside.

A Miabi map poster keeps that informal character. There is no rigid grid to rely on. Instead the drawing is made of clusters of lanes, meeting points and the long routes that tie the town to its neighbours. The result is a spare, organic image, very different from the tidy blocks of a European or North American city.

01

Informal street web

Streets grow outward in irregular clusters instead of a grid, giving the map a hand-drawn, branching quality that changes from neighbourhood to neighbourhood.

02

Regional connecting roads

A few longer routes leave the town toward Mbuji-Mayi and the surrounding villages. They appear as the strongest lines on the sheet and anchor the composition.

03

Open plateau edges

On the outskirts the built area gives way to open ground, so the drawing fades gently at its borders instead of ending in a hard urban boundary.

Why Miabi

A map that means something

For people from Kasai living elsewhere, a map of Miabi is a quiet way to keep home in view. It shows the town as it is actually laid out, without decoration, and that plainness is a big part of its appeal on a wall.

You can set the title, subtitle and coordinates to a family name, a date or a message in any language. Classic black & white, Noir, Paper, Blueprint and Sand each give the loose street pattern a different mood, from crisp and graphic to warm and soft.
