About this Swakopmund map poster
Swakopmund lies on the coast of Namibia where the Namib Desert meets the cold Atlantic. The town is a neat grid of wide streets laid out along the shore, bordered on the south by the broad, usually dry bed of the Swakop River. Beyond the last houses, sand and gravel plains run inland, and the edge of the town is drawn sharply against the empty desert.
Swakopmund was founded in the 1890s as the main port for German South West Africa, and its centre still has many buildings from that period. A historic jetty reaches into the sea, and the town today is a base for trips into the dunes and along the coast, with its cool, often foggy climate.
A Swakopmund map poster is defined by edges: ocean on one side, desert on the other, a riverbed along the south. The orderly grid sits between them almost like a drawing on blank paper. It is a clear, graphic image that suits minimal interiors and anyone who has stood on that coast.

Swakop riverbed
The wide, mostly dry river channel marks the southern edge of the town and gives the port its name.
Desert margin
The built area stops abruptly where the Namib begins, leaving a sharp line between streets and empty sand.

Why Swakopmund
A map that means something
Swakopmund stays with travellers and residents because of the way the town sits between two empty spaces, sea and sand. A map shows that unusual position more clearly than a photograph of any single street.
You can personalise the title, add a trip date or family name as the subtitle, and adjust the coordinates. Choose from Classic black & white, Noir, Paper, Blueprint and Sand.
