A striking cartographic portrait of Rotorua’s central district, this undated vintage area map captures the town’s character in richly layered colour and detail. With its network of plotted streets, parklands, and civic sites—including the iconic Government Gardens and Sulphur Point—the map offers a visual record of Rotorua’s urban form as it was once envisioned, shaped by both geothermal forces and thoughtful planning.
Soft earth tones and subtle contrasts give the map a warm, archival quality—bringing together utility and artistry in one composition. More than a historical document, it’s a piece that speaks to Rotorua’s layered story: a place of cultural depth, natural wonder, and enduring local pride.
Perfect for lovers of regional history, heritage-style décor, or anyone with a personal connection to Rotorua, this piece pairs seamlessly with both classic and contemporary interiors. It’s equally at home on a gallery wall or as a standalone feature in a study or reading nook.
Curat'd Detail:
