Reclaimed Mihama shoreline
The Mihama area projects into the sea as a planned block of land with straight edges and regular streets. It is easy to pick out against the older, irregular neighbourhoods inland.

The map
About this Chatan map poster
Chatan runs along the East China Sea on the central west coast of Okinawa Island. Parts of Kadena Air Base and Camp Foster lie within its boundaries and take up much of its land. As a result, the town's streets are packed into a band along the shore and into pockets between fenced perimeters, which gives the map a very unusual balance of empty and dense areas.
The coastline has been heavily engineered. The Mihama district was built on reclaimed land and is home to American Village, a shopping and entertainment area known for its Ferris wheel. North of it, the Sunabe seawall runs beside the reef, a popular spot for divers and for watching the sunset. Breakwaters, marinas and straight promenades give the shore crisp geometric edges.
A Chatan map poster captures that interplay between built-up coast and open base land. Residential lanes form tight clusters, the reclaimed land shows up as clean rectangles, and the sea fills one whole side of the frame. The result is a clear portrait of a town shaped by the ocean and by its postwar history.

Sunabe seawall
A long concrete seawall follows the coast north of Mihama. On the map it is a firm, continuous line between the residential streets and the reef waters of the East China Sea.
Base boundaries
Large areas of military land appear as open spaces with only a few internal roads. Their long perimeters shape where the town's streets can run and give the poster its distinctive outline.

Why Chatan
A map that means something
Chatan means something particular to many people: Okinawans, service members and their families who were stationed nearby, and visitors who spent evenings on the seawall. A map of the coastline keeps that place close after a posting or holiday ends.
You can add a unit, a family name or the years you lived there in the title and subtitle, and edit the coordinates line. Five styles are available: Classic black & white, Noir, Paper, Blueprint and Sand. Printed posters ship from partners in more than 30 countries.
