New Zealand, 1843

Posted by Kerry Thu, 15 May 2008 08:23:00 GMT

Very cool(for me anyway) map of New Zealand from 1843. A couple of noticeable name differences are:

  • New Ulster, New Munster, and New Leinster are the North, South and Stewart Islands respectively.
  • Tasman Bay is known as Blind Bay(Tasman Bay of D’Urville).

This comes from the David Rumsey Historical Map Collection which has plenty of other cool maps to checkout.
