Great Mosque
The mosque's broad rectangle and adjoining market square form the clearest landmark on the map, a calm geometric shape set within the dense fabric of the town.

The map
Djenné stands in the inland delta of the Niger in central Mali, on land that becomes an island when the Bani river and its channels flood each year. The old town is a compact, rounded mass of houses and courtyards, built almost entirely of sun-dried mud brick. From above, it appears as a tightly packed maze of narrow lanes, with no clear grid and very little open space.
At its heart lies the Great Mosque, the largest mud-brick building in the world, rebuilt in its present form in 1907, and the square in front of it, where a weekly Monday market gathers traders from across the region. A Djenné map poster shows the mosque's large rectangular footprint as the one clear, regular form within the intricate web of lanes.
The old towns of Djenné, together with nearby archaeological sites such as Djenné-Djeno, are listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and Djenné-Djeno is regarded as one of the oldest known urban sites in sub-Saharan Africa. Around the town, the floodplain spreads out in channels, marshes and fields that change with the seasons, giving the map an open, watery frame.
The mosque's broad rectangle and adjoining market square form the clearest landmark on the map, a calm geometric shape set within the dense fabric of the town.
Narrow lanes twist between courtyard houses, producing an intricate, irregular street pattern that fills the old town and reads as fine texture in black and white.
Channels of the Bani floodplain surround the town, isolating it during high water and giving the map its distinctive enclosed, island-like outline.
