About this Ashburton map poster
Ashburton sits in the middle of the Canterbury Plains, roughly halfway between Christchurch and Timaru on New Zealand's South Island. The town lies between the Rakaia and the Ashburton rivers, known in Māori as Hakatere, and on a map its tidy grid of streets stands out against the flat, open farmland around it.
The town grew as a service centre for the surrounding farms, and State Highway 1 and the main South Island railway run straight through it. Beyond the town, the plains are divided into large rectangular paddocks, many irrigated, with long shelterbelts of trees marking their edges.
An Ashburton map poster shows the geometry of the plains in a clear way. The regular street grid, the straight lines of the highway and railway, and the wide braided bed of the Ashburton River along the town's southern side combine into a calm, balanced composition.
