Bima Bay
The long, sheltered bay reaches far inland and nearly closes at its mouth, creating a bold outline that gives the whole map its structure and a large, calm field of water.

The map
Bima lies on the island of Sumbawa in Indonesia's West Nusa Tenggara province, near the inner end of Bima Bay. The bay is the defining shape on any map of the city: a narrow arm of the sea reaching deep into the land, almost enclosed, with the harbour and the older town gathered on its shore. Hills rise behind the streets, holding the city close to the water.
For centuries this was the seat of the Sultanate of Bima, a trading state on the sea routes of eastern Indonesia. The former sultan's palace, the Asi Mbojo, stands near the centre and now serves as a museum. The city grew outward from this old core toward the harbour and the markets, and later along the roads leading around the bay.
Sumbawa is also the island of Mount Tambora, whose 1815 eruption was among the largest in recorded history, though the volcano stands well to the west of the city. A Bima map poster concentrates on the bay and the town beside it, a strong composition of calm water, a curving shoreline and hills pressing in from the land.
The long, sheltered bay reaches far inland and nearly closes at its mouth, creating a bold outline that gives the whole map its structure and a large, calm field of water.
The historic centre around the Asi Mbojo, the former sultan's palace, forms the oldest part of the street pattern, with the rest of the town having grown up around it.
Steep ground behind the city limits how far it can spread inland, so the built area follows the curve of the bay in a clear shape between hills and water.

Why Bima
Bima holds meaning for people from Sumbawa and the Mbojo community, for travellers who passed through on the overland route east, and for anyone drawn to Indonesia's old trading ports. The enclosed bay makes a naturally balanced poster.
