The map
Kayes lies on the Senegal River in western Mali, close to the borders with Senegal and Mauritania. On a map the river is the town's defining line, curving along its northern edge, while streets spread southward across flat, open ground. Low, rocky hills and dry plains frame the town, giving it a stark setting typical of the western Sahel.
Kayes was the capital of the French colony of Upper Senegal and Niger until the administration moved to Bamako in the early twentieth century. It grew as a river port and as a station on the Dakar–Niger railway, and it is known as one of the hottest towns in Africa. The old fort of Médine stands upriver.
A Kayes map poster places the Senegal River across the composition, with the town's grid of streets set against it and the railway cutting a straight line through. In black and white, the open spaces around the town speak to the dry plains, while the river gives the map its strongest curve.
The river runs along the northern side of the town, a broad curved line on the map that once made Kayes a key inland port for river trade.
The Dakar–Niger railway passes through Kayes, and its straight line across the town is a reminder of the route that shaped its growth.
Beyond the built-up area, sparse roads and wide empty spaces reflect the dry, open plains and low hills that surround the town.
