The map
Saonré lies on the outskirts of Ouagadougou in Burkina Faso's Centre region. From above, the ground is divided into regular rectangular plots with straight tracks between them, a pattern common where land has recently been parcelled for housing. Built-up blocks sit next to empty lots, and the grid thins out gradually into fields and scattered trees.
Like many peri-urban areas around Ouagadougou, Saonré has grown as families moved out from the city in search of space and affordable plots. Earth and concrete houses, walled courtyards and unpaved streets make up most of the built fabric. The rhythms of the rainy and dry seasons still shape daily life here as much as the pull of the capital does.
A Saonré map poster shows a neighbourhood at a particular moment in its growth. The plots already built on and the ones still vacant appear together. Printed in black and white, the grid reads clearly, and so does the soft edge where it gives way to open land. For people with roots here, that edge is a familiar sight.
Straight tracks divide the land into repeated rectangular lots. They create a clean, almost diagrammatic pattern across the map.
On the outer side the street grid loosens and fades into fields. The map captures the edge where the city meets the countryside.
Roads lead back towards central Ouagadougou. They are a reminder of how closely this community is tied to the city next door.

Why Saonré
A map of Saonré makes a personal gift for someone who built a house here, grew up here or sends support home from abroad. It marks a specific place that rarely appears on printed maps.
You can personalise the title, subtitle and coordinates, for example with the year a house was finished. The map comes in five styles: Classic black & white, Noir, Paper, Blueprint and Sand. It is available as a digital HD file or a printed poster.
