This vintage map of the Borough of Taihape would make a stylish and meaningful addition to your home. Hung in your hallway, kitchen, or study, it's a quiet nod to where you come from — a conversation starter for any proud Taihapian.

Drawn by the New Zealand Lands and Survey Department, this beautifully detailed plan captures the town on the cusp of its heyday in the 1950s and 60s, before gumboot throwing was even a twinkle in anyone's eye. The borough boundary is traced in red, the town sections carefully numbered, and the streams and surrounding blocks mapped with the precision of a country that was still very much being built.

Whether you grew up on these streets, have family who did, or simply love a piece of authentic New Zealand history, this map is a wonderful way to honour that connection. It also makes an exceptional gift for anyone who traces their roots to the Rangitīkei.

This map comes in a square aspect and we offer two different finishing options. Please choose from the following selection.
ㅤ

Acrylic Print

Perfect for any room where gallery quality is optimal, our Acrylic Prints are also ideal for bathrooms and wet areas.

Your map will be printed in our boutique print studio on Kodak Professional substrate using archival inks, and then mounted in-house on crystal clear acrylic for a back-lit appearance and unrivaled vibrancy.

Finally, it will be seamed with 4mm ACM (Aluminium Composite Material) for a modern frameless finish. A custom hanger is attached before the print is securely packaged and sent to you, ready to hang on your wall.

Wall Art on ACM

Our ACM Wall Art prints are sleek and non-reflective. Your photograph will be printed in our boutique print studio on Kodak Professional Paper using archival inks and then mounted in-house on 4mm ACM.

A custom hanger is attached before the print is securely packaged and sent to you, ready to hang on your wall.
