Malaysia itmb Travel Map

Malaysia must be considered as two separate entities lumped together. The Malay Peninsula stretches south from the Thai border to the island republic of Singapore, and is overwhelmingly Muslim. The other half would be the far-flung island components of Sarawak and Sabah, with the Sultanate of Brunei in the middle, extending eastwards towards Polynesia, wild and only lightly touched by the modern world. As this is an update, there isn’t a lot of new material; obviously, things that have changed from the previous edition have been corrected/added, and the inset map of Kuala Lumpur has been re-worked. We have added a detailed hiking map to the Mount Kinabalu inset map, and have added the new spinal highway linking Sarawak with Brunei.

Malaysia on a double-sided, indexed map from ITMB showing the western, peninsular part at 1:750,000, with Sarawak and Sabah at 1:1,100,000, plus large clear, street plans of central Kuala Lumpur, Kuching, Bandar Seri Bengawan and Kota Kinabalu, and an enlargement of the Mount Kinabalu Trail. 

Altitude colouring with elevation in feet shows the topography, and the map has numerous spot heights, particularly in the mountainous regions. Graphics indicate swamp areas and sand dunes. National parks and wildlife reserves are highlighted. Road network indicates toll motorways and includes selected local tracks. Railway lines are included and domestic airports are marked. The map also shows internal administrative boundaries and names of the provinces. Symbols highlight various places of interest. Latitude and longitude lines are drawn at 30’ intervals in Peninsular Malaysia and at 1° intervals in Borneo. Each side has a separate index. 

The map also has large, very clear street plans of central Kuala Lumpur, Kuching, Bandar Seri Bengawan and Kota Kinabalu, indicating numerous hotels, various sights and facilities, etc. An enlargement at 1:50,000 approx and with contours at 500 feet intervals presents the trail to the summit of Mount Kinabalu.
