New Mapoon is an area South of Seisia and West of Bamaga at the tip of Cape York Peninsula ,
The people who live at New Mapoon were forcibly moved from Marpuna in the early 1960's to accommodate mining expansion on their traditional country. They now have historical association and administrative responsibility for a DOGIT area on the traditional country of the Gudang people. The residents of New Mapoon have a ranger service, which works closely with the Injinoo and other Northern Peninsula Area (NPA) community rangers to undertake land management practices in the NPA.
