The map
About this Tanga map poster
Tanga lies on Tanzania's northern coast, near the border with Kenya. On the map, the town sits on the edge of a sheltered bay, with a small island near its mouth and mangrove creeks winding into the shoreline. The older centre has a fairly regular grid of wide streets laid out near the harbour.
Away from the waterfront, the town spreads inland along main roads toward the interior and the Usambara Mountains beyond. Newer neighbourhoods have a looser layout, and around the edges the pattern gives way to farmland and scattered settlements.
Tanga grew as a port during the German colonial period and was long known for the sisal plantations of the surrounding region. It was also the site of a First World War battle in 1914. The Amboni Caves, a limestone cave system, lie just to the north. A Tanga map poster shows a coastal town shaped by its bay and harbour.

Colonial-era grid
The older centre keeps a regular pattern of broad streets near the waterfront, clearly different from the looser districts inland.
Mangrove creeks
Creeks and inlets cut into the coast around the town, drawing a soft, broken shoreline that adds detail to the edges of the print.

Why Tanga
A map that means something
Tanga means a lot to people from the Swahili coast and to anyone who has spent time on Tanzania's north shore. The bay and the old grid make a calm, balanced design that suits a home or office.
