Congo estuary
The river here is several kilometres wide and divided by islands, so the map is shaped as much by channels and banks as by streets.

The map
Boma Map Poster & Print
Boma stands on the north bank of the Congo River, roughly a hundred kilometres upstream from the Atlantic, where the river widens into its estuary. On a map the water dominates: a broad channel scattered with long islands and sandbanks, with the town set along the shoreline and rising gently onto higher ground behind it.
It is one of the oldest trading ports on the lower Congo and served as the capital of the Congo Free State and then the Belgian Congo until the capital moved to Léopoldville, now Kinshasa, in the 1920s. Colonial-era buildings remain near the waterfront, and the town is also known for a large old baobab linked by tradition to the explorer Henry Morton Stanley.
Today Boma is a river port for Kongo Central province, with quays along the water and roads leading inland toward the Mayombe forest. A Boma map poster holds the contrast between the tight riverside streets and the enormous sweep of the estuary, which fills much of the frame and gives the composition its character.

Riverside quarter
The older part of town runs along the waterfront, with port facilities and colonial-period buildings close to the quays where ships once linked the colony to Europe.
Stanley's baobab
A huge baobab tree in the town is associated with Stanley's arrival at the end of his crossing of Central Africa in 1877, and remains a local landmark.

Why Boma
A map that means something
Boma speaks to people with family ties to Kongo Central and to anyone interested in the river's long history. With water occupying so much of the frame, the map becomes almost abstract, a study of banks, islands and a thin line of town.
Add a title and subtitle, perhaps with a year that matters to you, and keep the coordinates line or adjust it. Five styles are available, and the digital files are ready for printing locally at any of the six standard sizes, from A3 to 24×36″.
