@Tanya wolfkamp Hi, I am trying to find city and regional maps of Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch and Dunedin to print onto handkerchiefs. Vintage maps in one, two or three colours. preferable. Could I license your maps?

@Matt For town maps you would want the NZMS16 series - this has the original maps/plans for most regional towns in NZ. Not sure if that includes the big cities though. I suggest you poke around on

http://gdh.auckland.ac.nz

to locate the maps you need. The gdh ftp server hosts the originals from which most of the map mosaics here are constructed and dozens of others besides. The index to the different series is here:
