The border road
The main road leads straight to the frontier crossing and carries most of the town's activity. It forms the backbone of the map.

The map
About this Mpondwe map poster
From above, Mpondwe gathers around the road that runs to the border with the Democratic Republic of the Congo. The streets are dense near the crossing, where trade and transport concentrate, and they thin out quickly into farmland and scattered homes. The frontier itself gives the map a hard edge on one side, while the land to the north rises toward the mountains.
Mpondwe is in Kasese District in western Uganda and is one of the main crossing points between Uganda and the Congo, with the town of Kasindi on the other side. It lies very close to the equator, south of the Rwenzori Mountains. Queen Elizabeth National Park is not far away, so the wider area mixes border trade with protected land.
A Mpondwe map poster is a portrait of a crossroads. The road to the border runs through the composition like a central line, with markets and neighbourhoods clustering along it. In black and white, the edge of the country and the pull of the main road come through clearly.

Frontier edge
The international border with the Congo cuts along one side of the town. On the print it gives the street network a sudden, definite limit.
Near the equator
Mpondwe sits only a few kilometres from the equator. The coordinates line on the poster makes that position clear, a small detail many owners like to keep.
