The Rajang River
The widest line on the map. The Rajang sweeps past the town in a wide curve, and on paper it reads as the axis that everything else lines up with.

Tabula
Kapit sits far up the Rajang, Malaysia's longest river, in the interior of Sarawak. From above, the river dominates everything: a broad, slow band of water that curves past the town and carries on through forest in both directions. The built-up area keeps close to the bank, where wharves and jetties once handled nearly all of the town's arrivals.
Behind the waterfront, a small grid of streets holds the town centre. It soon loosens into lanes that follow the ground as it rises into low hills. Past the last houses, the map thins out quickly. A few roads wind away between ridges, and the rest is open space where rainforest takes over. The contrast between the dense riverside core and the empty country around it gives the drawing its character.
For a long time the easiest way to reach Kapit was by express boat from Sibu, downriver. The town grew as a trading and administrative post for the upper Rajang and the Iban longhouse communities along its tributaries. A Kapit map poster shows that setting plainly: a settlement defined by its river, with streets, bends and hills rendered in fine black lines.
The widest line on the map. The Rajang sweeps past the town in a wide curve, and on paper it reads as the axis that everything else lines up with.
A timber fort built by the Brooke administration in 1880 near the riverfront, later named after Ranee Sylvia. It stands on the edge of the old town centre and now serves as a museum.
The short grid of central streets ends abruptly. Past it, a handful of winding roads cut into hilly, forested ground, so the poster shows exactly where the town stops and the interior begins.

Cur Kapit
Kapit is a place people tend to remember by its river: arriving by boat, working upriver, or growing up near the longhouses of the Rajang basin. A map of the town puts the waterfront, the streets and the surrounding hills in one frame. It makes a fitting reminder for anyone whose story runs through the interior of Sarawak.
You can change the title, subtitle and coordinates line, for example to add a family name or the year you first travelled upriver. Five styles are available: Classic black & white, Noir, Paper, Blueprint and Sand. Download HD files for $9 in six print sizes, or order a printed poster on matte paper with an optional wooden frame.
