About this Pointe-Noire map poster
Pointe-Noire is the main seaport of the Republic of the Congo and the country's economic centre, built on a flat coastal plain beside the Atlantic. Its name comes from a dark rocky point that Portuguese sailors noted along the shore. On a map the coastline gives a strong western edge, with the port's breakwaters and quays reaching into the sea near the centre.
The city is the terminus of the Congo-Ocean Railway, built in the 1920s and 1930s to link the coast with Brazzaville, and its railway station remains a well-known landmark. Offshore oil made Pointe-Noire the base of the country's energy industry, and the port handles much of the national trade. Residential districts spread inland in a wide, fairly regular pattern.
A Pointe-Noire map poster frames the city between ocean and plain: the port and beaches along the shore, the straight roads of the older centre and the broad neighbourhoods behind them. It is a clear, legible plan, and the Atlantic coastline stretching away in both directions gives the composition a calm, steady balance.

Railway terminus
The Congo-Ocean Railway ends in the heart of the city, and its line heading inland provides a strong route across the map toward Brazzaville, far to the east.
Coastal beaches
Long sandy beaches follow the shore on either side of the port, a soft edge between the city streets and the open ocean that runs the length of the composition.
