The map
Oguta sits on the shore of Oguta Lake in Imo State, in southeastern Nigeria. From above, the lake is the main feature, a broad body of water with an irregular shoreline. The town spreads along its edge, with streets running down toward the water. Channels connect the lake to the river network flowing toward the Niger.
The lake has long made Oguta a trading and fishing town. During the Nigerian Civil War, it was the site of fighting because of its strategic waterway. Oguta is also the hometown of Flora Nwapa, widely regarded as the first African woman to publish a novel in English, whose work often draws on life in the lake town.
An Oguta map poster is built around its water. The curves of the shoreline, the town's streets and the channels leading out to the river system all appear in one frame. In monochrome, the lake becomes a large calm shape anchoring the composition. It is a map of a town that has always faced the water.
The largest natural lake in Imo State fills much of the map. Its irregular shoreline is the town's defining edge and main graphic element.
Channels connect the lake to the wider river network draining toward the Niger. This route has made Oguta a trading town for generations.
Novelist Flora Nwapa came from Oguta. Her books, among the first by an African woman published in English, often draw on life by the lake.
