If you can find old topo maps anywhere, they are worth grabbing, particularly the Geological Survey ones as they listed every building and camp they came across.

Ruakaka (before SH1 was smoothed out)


A big clue as to where to source old detailed maps


Just a tease :)


This one is just for Creamer - You should recognise Kerikeri Road, looking North from Cobham... :)
The Europa Shed was still there when I moved up, demolished around 1986... Now the Hub Mall, and where the new Briscoes is (ex countdown) there were some flats. Top Energy was where New World now exists, and I used to scrump macadamias down their access road where Santeez is now during my lunch break...
