About this Ouahigouya map poster
Ouahigouya is the capital of the Nord region of Burkina Faso, in the Sahel country north-west of Ouagadougou. From above, the city spreads widely across the flat plain. Long straight roads cross each other, and between them lie low-density neighbourhoods of family compounds, where streets often run in regular lines.
The city was the historic capital of the Yatenga kingdom, one of the Mossi states that ruled large parts of what is now Burkina Faso. Today it is the main administrative and market center of the north, with roads leading towards Ouagadougou, Mali and the surrounding towns.
An Ouahigouya map poster shows a city whose outline fades gradually into the countryside. Seasonal ponds and small reservoirs mark the edges, and the network of streets thins into paths, fields and scattered settlements under the wide Sahelian sky.

Compound neighbourhoods
Residential areas are made up of family compounds along regular streets, which creates a light, even texture across the urban area.
Water at the edges
Ponds and reservoirs near the city collect water in the rainy season, soft shapes that stand out against the dry, flat surroundings.

Why Ouahigouya
A map that means something
For people from the Yatenga, and for anyone who has lived or worked in northern Burkina Faso, an Ouahigouya poster keeps a quiet image of home: wide roads, low houses and open land around them.
The title, subtitle and coordinates line can be personalised, in French or any other language. Pick from five styles: Classic black & white, Noir, Paper, Blueprint and Sand. Buy the six-size HD files for $9, or order a matte printed poster where available.
