This is the replacement map for the former Papua New Guinea map. It has a similar cover picture, but for this edition, ITMB have added the rest of the island, the Indonesian province of West Irian, to the other side of the paper, creating a complete island map.

This map also includes some of the islands west of New Guinea, including the newly independent country of East Timor (not in great detail, but it’s there). Naturally, the Papua side has been updated cartographically, and is MUCH more developed than the western side, but the real significance of this title is that one of the largest islands in the world is now completely mapped for the first time ever.

 

This is the first new map of West Irian province for years, and adds interesting Indonesian islands from the Ceram Sea area, such as Anbom and Hatta to ITMB's detailed coverage of Indonesia.

The map shows the eastern half at 1:2 000 000 on one side and the western half on the other side at 1:1 650 000.
