About this Bougainville Island map poster
Bougainville is the largest island of the Solomon archipelago, though it belongs to Papua New Guinea. From above it is a long, fairly broad shape running north-west to south-east. A volcanic mountain chain forms its spine, the Emperor Range in the north and the Crown Prince Range in the centre, with Mount Balbi as the highest peak.
In the far north, Buka Island is separated from Bougainville by the Buka Passage, a very narrow strait with strong currents. Buka town, on its shore, is the seat of the Autonomous Region of Bougainville. The main roads follow the east coast, with towns such as Arawa and Kieta, and continue south toward Buin.
Inland from Arawa lies the Panguna copper mine, whose disputes helped start the civil conflict of the late 1980s and 1990s. In a 2019 referendum, a large majority of Bougainvilleans voted for independence. A Bougainville Island map poster shows a place of mountains, coastal roads and the thin ribbon of the Buka Passage.

Why Bougainville Island
A map that means something
For Bougainvilleans at home or abroad, this map is about identity as much as geography. The long volcanic island and its northern channel make a strong, dignified poster.
