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 80m intervals with relief shading, plus colours and graphics indicating the type of terrain and vegetation. Overprint shows three different kinds of DOC tracks: short walk, walking tracks, and tramping tracks. Symbols highlight accommodation (campsites, motor camps, youth hostels, huts), fresh water and fuels supplies, places of interest, etc. The map has a New Zealand Map Grid and latitude/longitude margin ticks at 5’. Also included is an index of localities and geographical features and on the reverse lists of campsites and short walks, as well as extensive notes on the area.
