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: an older map, published in 1990 and not yet included in the recent revision this series. The map has contours at 20m intervals and bold colouring indicating the types of vegetation. The overprint highlights footpaths, accommodation (hotels, motels, campsites, huts), surfing and fishing sites, water sport facilities, etc. The map has a New Zealand Map Grid and latitude/longitude margin ticks at 5’ intervals. Several enlargements show popular areas in greater detail: Punakaiki - Dolomite Point, Charleston and Fox River. On the reverse there are notes on the area and its fauna and flora.
