1889 cadastrals
@Dave nevin
Hi, brilliant resource. I see APL has Block V Russell SD, 1889 :-)
And, Waikato Uni has a list of all the 1;25,000 sheets NZMS2A ? but perhaps these are only a rescale of 1 inch mile topos?

Could you share topo50-2019 xml for QGIS
@Matt
2019 layer is now available for QGIS.
As Arcbrutile is no longer free/opensource I can no longer test or maintain the arcbrutile maps for ArcGIS.
