Surveyed parcel grid
Much of the area is divided into regular rectangular plots, so the map shows long parallel lanes and repeating blocks. They give the poster a calm, almost textile-like structure.

The map
Nioko I sits on the north-eastern edge of Ouagadougou, where the capital of Burkina Faso gives way to newer residential quarters. On a map it reads as a patchwork of rectangular plots and straight, mostly unpaved lanes laid out on almost perfectly flat ground. There are no hills or coastline to bend the pattern, so the street plan itself carries the whole image.
The neighbourhood grew quickly as the city expanded outward, and the plan shows it. Tidy parcel grids stand beside looser clusters where houses went up first and surveying came later. Wider roads cut through at intervals and link the area back toward central Ouagadougou. Printed in fine black lines, this mix of order and improvisation becomes the main texture of the image.
Because the district is young and mostly residential, a Nioko I map poster is less about landmarks than about pattern: the steady rhythm of blocks, with the occasional open field or seasonal watercourse between them. It suits people who know the place from daily life, such as the route home, a family compound, or the stretch of road that marks the turn toward the city.
Much of the area is divided into regular rectangular plots, so the map shows long parallel lanes and repeating blocks. They give the poster a calm, almost textile-like structure.
A few wider roads run through the grid toward central Ouagadougou. They are drawn as heavier lines that anchor the composition and show how the quarter connects to the rest of the city.
Toward the outskirts the blocks thin out into undeveloped ground. The street pattern fades out gradually on the map instead of stopping at a hard boundary.
