The map
About this Shanwa map poster
Shanwa is a town in the Simiyu Region of northern Tanzania, in the broad farming country south-east of Lake Victoria. The surrounding land is fairly flat and open, and it is used mostly for smallholder agriculture and grazing. The town serves as a local centre for the villages and farms around it.
On a map, Shanwa's core is small and compact, with a handful of streets forming the commercial centre. The pattern loosens quickly towards the edges, where plots, paths and homesteads spread outwards. Main roads cross the open plain in long, gentle lines, and seasonal streams show up as faint threads. The effect is spacious, with plenty of blank ground framing the town.
A Shanwa map poster works best as a record of a particular place and time. It is a good fit for families from the Simiyu area and for people who have lived or worked in this part of Tanzania. The open plain and simple street pattern give the print a calm, uncluttered layout.

Roads across the plain
Routes linking Shanwa to neighbouring towns run over largely level ground, drawing long, gently curving lines across the poster.
Farmland patchwork
Around the town, fields, tracks and scattered homesteads form a loose, fine-grained pattern typical of the agricultural country south-east of Lake Victoria.
