Garden-city suburbs

The map
About this Sasolburg map poster
Sasolburg was founded in the 1950s as a company town for the Sasol plant, where coal was converted into fuels and chemicals, and its map still shows that origin clearly. Residential suburbs were laid out with curving streets, crescents and cul-de-sacs, separated by strips of parkland in the garden-city style popular at the time.
To one side lies the industrial complex, which follows a very different pattern of long rectangular plots, internal roads and rail sidings. Seeing the two side by side is the most striking thing about the town from above. The Vaal River runs to the north and forms the provincial boundary with Gauteng, giving the northern edge a soft, winding line.
A Sasolburg map poster makes a thoughtful piece for families connected to the plant or to the town's schools and suburbs. The drawing has an unusual balance: the gentle loops of the housing areas, the rigid order of industry, and the river beyond. In black and white it reads almost like a planning document from the era it came from.

The industrial works
The Sasol complex covers a large area of long rectangular plots, pipe corridors and internal roads, a dense geometric block beside the housing.
Vaal River edge
North of town the Vaal River winds between the Free State and Gauteng, adding an organic line and a natural border to the composition.
