This New Zealand Survey Department map of Taupiri and Ngāruawāhia from 1928 is a classic piece of history.

It features details like the Main Trunk Line (established in 1877 when the town was briefly named Newcastle) and the Waikato (Hopuhopu) Military Camp on the banks of the Waikato River. This vintage map also shows Taupiri Mountain, a sacred burial ground for Waikato Māori.

This map would look superb hanging on your office or lounge wall. The soft hand-coloured aesthetic — showing contour lines, swamp areas and roads — would add sophistication to any space.

It would make a superb gift for anyone with a connection to the region — whether they grew up in the Waikato, have whānau ties to Ngāruawāhia or Taupiri, or simply love the history of this iconic stretch of river.

This map comes in a 5 x 7 aspect and we offer two different finishing options. Please choose from the following selection.

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.
