The map
Smara lies in the interior of Western Sahara, on the stony desert plains far inland from the Atlantic coast. From above, the town is a compact grid of streets and low buildings with little around it but open land, crossed by a few roads and the faint lines of dry watercourses that carry water only after rare rains.
The town was founded in the late nineteenth century by the religious leader Sheikh Ma al-Aynayn, who built a kasbah and a mosque here as a centre of learning and a stopping point for caravans. The ruins of that complex still stand near the town, while most of today's streets were laid out much later in a regular, planned pattern.
A Smara map poster is a study in contrast between order and space. The rectangular blocks of the town sit within an expanse of almost untouched land, with roads running out in long lines toward the horizon. The result is spare and graphic, and it looks especially striking in Sand or Noir.
Regular blocks of streets make up most of the town, a compact rectangular pattern that stands out sharply against the surrounding desert.
The remains of Ma al-Aynayn's nineteenth-century kasbah and mosque lie near the town, the oldest layer of Smara's history.
A few long roads leave the town across the stony plain, drawing single, almost straight lines that give the empty space its scale.
