Before the Tararua Range became synonymous with long days, sideways rain, and the particular satisfaction of earning a hut night, a series of dedicated individuals sat down and mapped the whole magnificent tangle of it. This 1959 survey captures the range in extraordinary detail — every ridge, track, and river system rendered in the careful hand of mid-century New Zealand cartography.
Equally at home in a study, a tramper's lounge, or a hallway in any Wellington or Wairarapa household that knows exactly which ridge nearly broke them. The muted greens and cream tones sit well against warm timbers and natural materials.
For the person who has done the Southern Crossing, the person planning it, or anyone with deep roots in the lower North Island. It also makes a handsome gift for New Zealand history collections, tramping clubs, and DOC-adjacent households everywhere.

City of Palmerston North — Vintage Survey Map Print
This vintage 1931 map of Palmerston North | Te Papa-i-Oea features the city grid laid out in full — every street named, every section numbered, the Manawatū River curving along the eastern edge in soft blue, the Hokowhitu Golf Links sitting neatly within its bend. Recreation reserves are picked out in green, the city boundary runs in red, and the street grid is overlaid in gold, offering a memorable richness of colour.
At home in a study, living room, or hallway where guests can stop and examine the city’s development along the Manawatū River. The warm palette suits timber-heavy or heritage interiors particularly well, though it holds its own in a more contemporary setting too.
The perfect gift for Massey students and alumni, Palmerston North locals and Manawatū families with long roots in the city — this is the kind of map where people immediately start locating their old street or school.

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.
