Topographic Layers - Page 2

When New Zealand Aerial Mapping (NZAM) went into liquidation in September 2014, LINZ took ownership of their historical photo archive and added it to the Crown Aerial Film Archive, making its photos available to the public.

​

This layer has been provided to enable potential users to identify the coverage of aerial photography for Mainland NZ flown by NZAM for private contract work between 1939 and 2008. These surveys compliment the Crown photos identified in Historic Aerial Photos, Survey Footprints, CROWN (1936-2005).

​

If you are aware of any inaccuracies, please contact LINZ at topography@linz.govt.nz. The layer shows the approximate bounding box of each aerial survey undertaken.

​

The physical Crown Aerial Film Archive is managed for LINZ by WSP New Zealand. Most Crown photographs have been scanned and are available digitally from LINZ upon request. See the Crown Aerial Film Archive historical imagery scanning project for direction on how to access the digitised photos. The photos are not downloadable from the LINZ Data Service.

​

There are a small number of images held in the Archive that have not been referenced in the LDS layers due to incomplete metadata. WSP NZ will be able to let you know if additional photographs are available in your area of interest.

This layer is a component of the Topo250 map series. The Topo250 map series provides topographic mapping for the New Zealand mainland and Chatham Islands, at 1:250,000 scale.

The Ant50 map series provides topographic mapping within the Ross Dependency, Antarctica

Digital images of the maps are also publicly available from www.linz.govt.nz/topography/topo-maps/antarctic-to...

Georeferenced raster digital images are provided at a resolution of 300 DPI. Georeferencing allows adjacent maps to be accurately and automatically aligned within GIS systems.

The Topo50 map series provides topographic mapping for the New Zealand mainland, the Chatham Islands, and offshore islands at 1:50,000 (some of the islands at 1:25,000) scale.

The Kermadec Islands data and maps, although captured and presented at 1:25,000 scale are, to all intents and purposes, part of the Topo50 series.

Along with the paper-based Topo50 map series, digital images of the maps are also publicly available.

Please be aware of the following:

• The existence of a road or track does not necessarily indicate public right of access.

• Closed tracks are defined as being no longer maintained or passable and should not be used by recreationalists. The Department of Conservation or other authorities should be contacted for the latest information on tracks and huts.

• Not all aerial wires, cableways and obstructions that could be hazardous to aircraft are held in the data.

• Contours and spot elevations in forest and snow areas may be less accurate.

• Not all pipelines including both underground and above ground are held in the data or shown on the printed maps. For the latest information please contact the utility and infrastructure agencies

• Permits may be required to visit some sensitive and special islands and areas. Contact the Department of Conservation to see if you need to apply for a permit.

In addition to contour lines, relief shading helps visualise the terrain. Hills and valleys are shaded as if they were illuminated from the north-west.

Relief layers were generated for each sheet, and specifically for use in the Topo50 map series. There may be subtle differences in the relief shading of adjacent map sheets. Where no contour information exists, relief shading has not been produced.

The Topo50 map series provides topographic mapping for the New Zealand mainland, Chatham Islands, offshore islands, and offshore dependancies at 1:50,000 (some of the islands at 1:25,000) scale.
For some small islands the printed map scale is 1:25,000. Although presented at 1:25,000 this layer, for all intents and purposes, forms part of the Topo50 map series.
