The map
Saddat al Hindīyah is a town in Babil Governorate in central Iraq, on the Euphrates between Hillah and Karbala. The Arabic name refers to the barrage here. It is a long structure across the river, built in the early twentieth century to control the flow of the Euphrates and send water into the irrigation canals that serve the surrounding plain.
On a map, the river is the most important feature. It flows through town as a wide band, and the barrage crosses it as a short, firm line. Channels branch away from it, and the streets of the town lie along both banks. Around the town, the land is divided into narrow plots of palm groves and farmland, each following the path of a watercourse.
A Saddat al Hindīyah map poster shows how closely life in this region depends on water. Take away the river and its canals, and much of the pattern would have no reason to exist. In black and white, the relationship between the river, the barrage and the town is easy to see at once.
The barrage crosses the Euphrates at the town and gives it its name. On the poster it is a short, precise line across the width of the river.
The river runs through the town as a broad curve, with built-up streets on both banks. It is the widest shape on the map and organises everything around it.
Canals and smaller channels spread out across the flat plain, and fields and groves follow them. Together they form thin, branching lines to the edges of the frame.
