On the reverse there are notes describing the areas and various routes, etc.

Symbols highlight accommodation facilities, including huts maintained by DOC indicating capacity, places of interest, sport and recreational facilities, fuel supplies, etc. The map has a New Zealand Map Grid and latitude/longitude margin ticks at 5’. On the reverse there are enlargements for Franz Joseph Gracier/Waiau (1:60,000), Fox Glacier/Te Moeka o Tuawe (1:60,000), and Aoraki/Mount Cook (1:40,000) areas, as well as extensive notes on the whole area, suggestions for short walks, and an index of localities, roads and tracks, peaks and passes, etc.
