Pahurehure Inlet
A shallow arm of the Manukau Harbour reaches right up to the western suburbs, giving the map an uneven tidal edge of creeks, mudflats and shoreline reserves.

The map
About this Papakura map poster
Papakura sits at the southern edge of the Auckland urban area, where the city's suburbs give way to farmland and the Hunua Ranges begin to rise. From above, you can see the town in layers: the Southern Motorway on one side, the main trunk railway through the middle, and the tidal arms of the Pahurehure Inlet cutting into the western edge.
Great South Road runs through the town as its old spine, lined with a compact commercial strip. On either side, residential streets spread out in curving crescents and cul-de-sacs typical of postwar New Zealand suburbs. To the west the grid breaks up around mudflats and creeks, and the shoreline turns into a ragged line of mangrove fingers and reserves.
A Papakura map poster shows that meeting of a planned suburb and an irregular harbour edge. In black and white, the inlet reads as a pale shape pushing into the streets, and the rail line and motorway run in parallel down the sheet. It shows well how Auckland thins out toward the south.

Great South Road
The historic route south out of Auckland runs straight through the town centre and forms the clearest line on the map, with the shopping streets gathered along it.
Rail and motorway
The main railway and the Southern Motorway run side by side down the eastern half of the town, two strong parallel lines that frame the older streets.

Why Papakura
A map that means something
Papakura suits people who grew up in South Auckland, commuted from its station or settled there to be near both the city and the countryside. It is a hometown map with a real piece of coastline in it, which is less common than you might think.
Add your own title, subtitle and coordinates, perhaps a street name or a move-in date, and pick from Classic black & white, Noir, Paper, Blueprint or Sand. Download the HD files for $9 or order a matte print, framed if you like.
