About this Penang Island map poster
Penang Island lies off the northwest coast of Peninsular Malaysia, at the northern entrance to the Strait of Malacca. It is roughly oval, with a steep, forested core of hills. Its towns and roads cling to the flatter coastal edges, especially along the east side, which faces the mainland across a narrow channel.
George Town, founded by the British East India Company in 1786, occupies the northeastern cape. Its historic core was inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage site in 2008, together with Melaka. On a map it is a tight grid of shophouse streets, clan houses and jetties, which gives way to newer districts spreading south and west along the shore.
Two long road bridges, the Penang Bridge and the Second Penang Bridge, link the island to the mainland, and ferries still cross from George Town. A Penang Island map poster can show the whole island, with Penang Hill and the national park left open. It can also zoom in on the old town, where the street pattern is at its most intricate.

Penang Hill
These forested heights rise sharply behind George Town and are reached by a funicular railway. They form a large open area in the middle of the island.
Penang Bridge
Long spans cross the channel from the eastern coast to the mainland. They are two slender lines over the water that anchor the island to the rest of Malaysia.

Why Penang Island
A map that means something
Penang is home to generations of families and a favourite of people who came for the food and stayed for the streets. A map of the island, or of George Town alone, is an affectionate record of those lanes and hills. It fits naturally in a kitchen, a café or a home far away.
Add a street, a family name or a year to the title and subtitle, and keep or edit the coordinates line. Choose from Classic black & white, Noir, Paper, Blueprint and Sand. HD files in six sizes cost $9, and matte prints ship from partners in more than 30 countries.
