The map
About this Rufisque map poster
Rufisque lies on the southern coast of the Cap-Vert peninsula, east of central Dakar and now part of its growing metropolitan area. The map is shaped by a long, gently curving shoreline, with the old town pressed close to the beach and newer districts spreading inland and along the roads and rail line that link Dakar with the rest of Senegal.
In the colonial period Rufisque was a major port for the peanut trade and one of the Four Communes, whose residents held French citizenship rights, alongside Saint-Louis, Gorée and Dakar. Traces of that era survive in the older streets near the waterfront, where warehouses and trading houses once lined the shore.
Today the coastline is under pressure from erosion, and the town is changing quickly as Dakar expands toward it. A Rufisque map poster records that edge between land and ocean at a particular moment, with the dense older quarter, the long roads heading east and the open Atlantic filling the lower part of the frame.

Why Rufisque
A map that means something
Rufisque means a great deal to families who have lived there for generations and to those who have since moved elsewhere. Its coastline makes a simple, powerful composition that works well in a living room, office or hallway.
You can set a title, a subtitle and the coordinates line, and choose one of five styles, including Sand, which suits the coastal setting. Digital files are $9 without watermark, and printed posters ship from partners in more than thirty countries.
