The map
About this Palapye map poster
Palapye is in Botswana's Central District, about halfway between Gaborone and Francistown. On a map, the main north-south highway and the railway pass through side by side, and the town spreads out from them into wide, low-density neighbourhoods across flat, open land.
The town has grown quickly around two major institutions. The Morupule coal-fired power station, a key part of the national electricity supply, is nearby, and the Botswana International University of Science and Technology has its campus here. East of the town are the ruins of Old Palapye, the capital of Kgosi Khama III in the late nineteenth century.
A Palapye map poster shows long, straight roads, large plots and new streets reaching into the bush. The campus stands out as its own planned area, and the transport corridor forms a clear axis. The composition is open and airy, reflecting a town with room to grow.
