This reproduction of Stone’s Handy Street Map of Dunedin, originally published in 1886, offers a richly detailed view of the city during its Victorian-era boom. As one of the most comprehensive street maps of its time, it charts Dunedin’s early street grid, tram routes, public buildings, and waterfront areas with striking precision.
Drawn during a period when Dunedin was New Zealand’s commercial heart—buoyed by the gold rush and a thriving port economy—this map captures a vital moment in the city’s urban and social development. From the winding lines of the Town Belt to the tightly packed blocks of the Octagon, the map is a window into late 19th-century life.
Reproduced from high-resolution archival scans, this print retains the typography, layout, and cartographic style of the original map. It’s an exceptional piece for map collectors, New Zealand history enthusiasts, or anyone connected to Dunedin’s heritage.
Fun Fact: J.W. Stone was a prominent publisher in Otago during the late 1800s, and his street maps became essential tools for locals navigating Dunedin’s growing cityscape.
