Sandakan Bay
The wide, sheltered bay takes up much of the composition. Its irregular shoreline, small islands and river mouths give the lower part of the poster a strong, open shape.

The map
Sandakan stretches along the northern shore of Sandakan Bay, a deep inlet that opens onto the Sulu Sea. On a map the town is long and thin. Its dense commercial centre is squeezed onto a strip of flat land at the water's edge, and steep, green hills rise almost immediately behind it, with roads winding up their slopes.
The old town centre has a tight grid of shophouse blocks facing the harbour, with jetties and fish-market piers reaching into the bay. Past the centre, development follows the coast and the valley roads inland, so the urban area looks like a string of neighbourhoods rather than one compact mass. Water villages built on stilts line parts of the shore.
Sandakan was the capital of British North Borneo until after the Second World War, when the administration moved to what is now Kota Kinabalu. The Sandakan Death Marches of 1945 are remembered at the memorial park on the town's outskirts. A Sandakan map poster shows a coastal town where sea, hills and streets are all packed into a small frame.
The wide, sheltered bay takes up much of the composition. Its irregular shoreline, small islands and river mouths give the lower part of the poster a strong, open shape.
The compact downtown grid sits right on the waterfront, a dense block of short streets that contrasts with the loose, curving roads on the hills behind it.
Roads climb and wind through the hills behind the town, drawing looping contour-like lines that show how steep the ground is even when there is no terrain shading.

Why Sandakan
Sandakan means something to people from Sabah, to families with wartime history, and to travellers who came for the rainforest and the orangutan centre at Sepilok nearby. A map of its bay and hills is an understated way to keep that place on the wall.
Add a title, a subtitle with a date or a name, and the coordinates line, then choose Classic black & white, Noir, Paper, Blueprint or Sand. Noir shows the waterfront streets well against the dark bay.
