The map
About this Soyo map poster
Soyo stands on the southern bank of the Congo estuary in northern Angola, on flat ground where the river meets the Atlantic. The map here is shaped as much by water as by streets: branching channels, low islands and creeks spread across the landscape, and the town's road network sits on the firmer land between them, reaching toward the shore.
The Congo is one of the world's largest rivers by discharge, and its mouth has long been a landmark for sailors. In 1482 the Portuguese navigator Diogo Cão reached the estuary and set up a stone pillar, or padrão, on the nearby point that still carries the name Ponta do Padrão. The coast around Soyo was part of the historic Kingdom of Kongo.
In recent decades Soyo has grown as a centre of Angola's oil and gas industry, with an LNG plant and industrial installations on the coast. A Soyo map poster sets the town against its setting, where the fine lines of streets give way to the irregular outlines of a vast river mouth on the edge of the ocean.

Channels and islands
Creeks and side channels cut the low ground into irregular shapes, so the land itself looks like a puzzle of islands threaded between the town and the river.
Atlantic shoreline
To the west the land meets the open ocean along a fairly straight coast, a clean edge that contrasts with the ragged outlines of the estuary.

Why Soyo
A map that means something
For people who have worked in Soyo's energy sector, or families from Zaire province, this map records a place defined by its river. The interplay of water and land makes an unusual, almost abstract print for a home or office.
Personalise the title and subtitle, perhaps with the years spent there, and choose Classic black & white, Noir, Paper, Blueprint or Sand. The digital download costs $9 and includes six sizes, from 30×40 cm to 24×36″, without a watermark.
