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: contours at 40m intervals plus colours and graphics indicating the type of terrain and vegetation. Overprint shows DOC's walking tracks and tramping tracks, including the whole of the 60km long Kepler Track between lakes Te Anau and Manapouri. Symbols highlight accommodation facilities, including huts maintained by DOC indicating capacity, places of interest, etc. The map has a New Zealand Map Grid and latitude/longitude margin ticks at 5’. Also included are extensive notes on the Kepler Track and the surrounding area, a profile of the routes, and an index of localities and geographical features.
