The map
Masterton is the largest town in the Wairarapa, in the southeast of New Zealand's North Island, on a broad plain between the Tararua Range to the west and rolling farmland to the east. From above, its street plan is a fairly regular grid, crossed by the river and the railway line, with the main street running through the centre and suburbs spreading out on every side.
The Waipoua River runs through the town, and Queen Elizabeth Park beside it forms a large green space close to the centre. Masterton is also known well beyond New Zealand as the home of the Golden Shears, a sheep-shearing competition held every year since the early 1960s, a reminder of the farming country around the town.
A Masterton map poster shows the character of a New Zealand country town: a tidy grid, a green park at the centre and rivers crossing the plain, with the Tararua foothills on the horizon. The clear structure works well in black and white, where parks and river corridors read as calm, open shapes.
Close to the town centre, the park forms a large, softly outlined green space beside the river. It is one of the most recognisable features on the map.
The river winds across the town's grid, and its tree-lined banks form a gentle curve that breaks up the straight lines of the streets.
To the west, the roads fade into the foothills of the Tararua Range. This rugged backdrop frames the flat plain on which the town is built.

Why Masterton
Masterton holds a special place for Wairarapa families, farming communities and people who moved to the city but still come back for the holidays. A map of the town is a simple, lasting reminder of home, whether it hangs in Wellington or on the other side of the world.
