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 100m intervals with relief shading, plus colours and graphics indicating the type of terrain and vegetation. Overprint shows walking and tramping tracks and mountain bike routes. Symbols highlight campsites, public and private huts, places of interest, wildlife refuges, etc. The map has a New Zealand Map Grid and latitude/longitude margin ticks at 5’. Enlargements at 1:50,000 show Otaki Forks, Kaitoke, and Holdsworth areas. The map also includes a list of huts with approximate walking times from the nearest road or hut, an index of localities and geographical features, and extensive notes on the area, the main tracks, and its fauna and flora.
