Tabula
Beaufort sits on the Padas River in the southwest of Sabah, in Malaysian Borneo. The town grew on low ground inside a bend of the river. On the map, the Padas is the dominant feature. It is a broad, winding band of water with a small grid of streets tucked beside it and wetland and plantation land spreading beyond.
The town is named after Leicester Paul Beaufort, a governor of British North Borneo. It is known as a stop on the Sabah State Railway, which follows the river inland toward Tenom through the Padas gorge. Because the land is so low, Beaufort has a long history of flooding. Older buildings were raised on stilts to deal with it, and this still shows in the townscape.
A Beaufort map poster is really a portrait of a river. The rail line and roads follow its curves, bridges cross it at a few points, and the street grid sits between water and track. Around the town, the map opens into a flat, marshy landscape crossed by channels and scattered roads.
The wide Padas River loops past the town and dominates the composition. Its curve decides where the streets, bridges and railway could be built.
The Sabah State Railway runs along the river through Beaufort toward Tenom. On the map it shows as a long, steady line that follows the curves of the water.
The commercial centre is a small, regular block of streets on the low ground by the river. At poster scale it reads as a neat pattern beside the water.

Cur Beaufort
Beaufort appeals to people who know Sabah beyond Kota Kinabalu. It might be a home town, a stop on a railway journey through the Padas gorge, or a place remembered for its riverside shophouses. The map is simple and has a clear sense of place.
Add a title, a subtitle of your choice and a date or the coordinates. Choose Classic black & white, Noir, Paper, Blueprint or Sand. Blueprint shows off the river bend especially well.
