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 1989 and not yet included in the recent revision this series. The map has contours at 20m intervals with relief shading and shows local roads and footpaths, campsites, surfing and water sport facilities, etc. The map has a New Zealand Map Grid grid and latitude/longitude margin ticks at 5’ intervals. An enlargement at 1:20,000 shows the settlements in the western part of the island in more detail. The map is indexed and includes on the reverse extensive notes on the area, including its pre-European history.
