Geological Map of New Zealand collection
Collection
This is a collection of geological maps comprising geological, geophysical and topographic layers. These represent the post-2012 component of the Nationally Significant Database "Regional Geological Map Archive and Datafile" and complement older geological maps available from the Historic Geological Map Archive repository.
Nationally Significant Databases are those datasets and collections registered as important for New Zealand, and as such are supported by long-term government funding.
Overview
Some geological map products include other components such as printed maps, printable PDF geological maps, accompanying explanatory text, 3D geological models and interpreted drill hole databases. The data are available for download and/or through web services.
The geological maps cover all or parts of New Zealand and its islands, Victoria Land and the Ross Sea region of Antarctica and the continent of Zealandia. Includes the national QMAP 1:250 000 Geological Map of New Zealand dataset and the 1:1 Million Geological Map of New Zealand as well as new geological map products as they are published.
