Enclosed valley
Hills surround the settlement on all sides, so the built-up area forms a compact shape on the valley floor with sharp edges against the bush.

The map
Wainuiomata lies in its own valley east of the Hutt Valley, part of Lower Hutt yet separated from it by a ridge crossed by a single hill road. From above, the suburb fills the valley floor almost completely, with housing streets curving in loops and cul-de-sacs and bush-covered hills closing in on every side.
The Wainuiomata River runs south from the settlement through a long rural valley before reaching the coast near Baring Head. The town grew rapidly in the mid-twentieth century as a housing area for the Wellington region, which explains the consistent, planned character of many of its streets. To the east rise the hills of Remutaka Forest Park.
A Wainuiomata map poster shows a place with an unusually clear outline. The dense suburban pattern sits inside a ring of green, the hill road is the one link westward, and the river and coast road lead the eye south. It is a distinctive shape among New Zealand suburbs and reads well at any print size.
Hills surround the settlement on all sides, so the built-up area forms a compact shape on the valley floor with sharp edges against the bush.
A single road climbs over the ridge to Lower Hutt, a clear diagonal on the map and the main way in and out of the valley.
The Wainuiomata River leaves the suburb and runs south through farmland toward the rugged coast near Baring Head.

Why Wainuiomata
People from Wainuiomata tend to identify strongly with the valley, and its clear outline makes it a recognisable map. It is a thoughtful gift for someone who grew up there or moved away, a reminder of the hill road home and the river to the coast.
You can edit the title, subtitle and coordinates, adding a street name or a date, and choose one of five styles: Classic black & white, Noir, Paper, Blueprint or Sand. Get HD files for $9 or order a printed poster shipped from a nearby print partner.
