Details
One of the titles in a series of hiking and leisure maps published by New Zealand’s Dept. of Conservation, the body responsible for managing the country’s 14 national parks and several of its forests and other protected areas. Scales and cartography vary according to the area covered. Most titles are based on the 1:50,000 topographic survey, with contours and relief shading, and highlight tramping paths and huts maintained by DOC. On the reverse there are notes describing the areas and various routes, etc.
In this title: overview map of the national park and the adjoining areas with contours at 200m intervals plus colours and graphics indicating the type of terrain and vegetation. Overprint shows walking and tramping tracks. Symbols highlight accommodation facilities, including huts maintained by DOC indicating capacity. The map has a New Zealand Map Grid and latitude/longitude margin ticks at 10’. On the reverse there are enlargements for Milford Sound at 1:30,000 and Te Anau at 1:25,000, plus extensive notes on the area, its tramping tracks and short walks.
