The map
Kokopo is the capital of East New Britain Province in Papua New Guinea, located on the Gazelle Peninsula at the northeastern end of New Britain island. The town stretches along the southern shore of Blanche Bay, with roads following the coastline and residential areas climbing gently into the hills behind. From above, the shoreline is the defining line of the map.
Kokopo became the provincial capital after the 1994 eruptions of the Tavurvur and Vulcan volcanoes buried much of nearby Rabaul in ash. Government offices, businesses and many residents moved here, and the town has grown steadily since. To the north, the flooded Rabaul caldera forms the sheltered harbour that gives the bay its distinctive shape.
A Kokopo map poster shows the town's long coastal outline, the roads leading toward Rabaul and inland plantations, and the wide water of Blanche Bay. In black and white, the relationship between town, sea and volcanic landscape becomes clear, telling the story of a town that grew in the shadow of a dramatic eruption.
Kokopo's main streets follow the southern edge of Blanche Bay, giving the town a long, narrow shape that hugs the coastline.
North of town, the bay is part of a large flooded volcanic caldera, surrounded by the peaks that erupted in 1994.
Roads run from Kokopo toward Rabaul and inland across the peninsula, linking the capital with villages, plantations and the airport.

Why Kokopo
For people from East New Britain, Kokopo is where the province rebuilt after 1994, and the map carries that meaning. It also appeals to divers, travellers and anyone who has worked in Papua New Guinea and wants to remember the bay.
