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 20m intervals plus colours and graphics indicating the type of terrain and vegetation. Overprint shows walking and tramping tracks, plus mountain bike routes and skiing areas. Symbols highlight accommodation facilities, including huts maintained by DOC indicating capacity, places of interest, sport and recreational facilities, etc. The map has a New Zealand Map Grid and latitude/longitude margin ticks at 5’. Enlargements show the summit area at 1:17,000, plus Dawson Falls at 1:12,5000 and North Egmont at 1:10,000. There are also extensive notes on the area, tramping tracks and routes to the summit.
