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 60m intervals with relief shading, plus colours and graphics indicating the type of terrain and vegetation. Overprint shows walking and tramping tracks and symbols highlight campsites, DOC huts, places of interest including early sawmill sites, fuel supplies, etc. The map has a New Zealand Map Grid and latitude/longitude margin ticks at 5’. An enlargement at 1:70,000 with contours at 20m intervals shows Paterson Inlet. The map also includes a street plan of Halfmoon Bay (Oban), an index of localities and geographical features, and extensive notes on the area and its history, geography, fauna and flora.
