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 short walks, walking and tramping tracks, plus mountain bike routes. Symbols highlight campsites and motorcamps, public and private huts, caravan dump stations, places of interest, skiing areas, sport and recreational facilities, etc. The map has a New Zealand Map Grid and latitude/longitude margin ticks at 5’. Enlargements show the approaches to the Angelus at 1:50,000, plus Rotoroa and St Arnaud at 1:25,000. Also included are an index of localities and geographical features and extensive notes on the area and its hiking routes.
