East Madi was located along the west bank of the Nile river to the west of Acholi. It extended north to the Sudan border. East Madi was linked to West Nile by a ferry at Laropi which carried foot and bicycle passengers, several small cars or small trucks. The area had very light densities of people as did Acholi to the West and south of Gulu the provincial capital and commercial center.

The ferry at Laropi and the surrounding country are shown in scene #1. Vegetation along the river valley is much more dense than that found inland on either the west or east side.
