A thorough map of the area, which was then a British protectorate, can be seen in the  Stanford Map of British North Borneo from 1926. The important highways, rivers, mountains, and cities are depicted on the map. The infrastructure of the area is also highlighted, including the railroads, bridle routes, telegraph, telephone, and wireless stations.


The map's center is Jesselton, which is now Kota Kinabalu, and it reaches to Sarawak's boundaries and the Sulu Sea. The map is expertly drawn, with legible text and finely detailed cartography. It is an important historical record that sheds light on Sabah's growth in the first half of the 20th century.

This map holds immense historical value, offering a window into the developmental landscape of Sabah during the early 20th century.
