[New Zealand. Dept. of Lands and Survey] :[Plan of roads requiring maintenance and construction from Okaihau, Bay of Islands] [map with ms annotations]. [1899].

Based on a published cadastral map with parishes of the Bay of Islands, hand-drawings show constructed roads which require maintenance or widening to avoid undue delays in delivery of goods when sea conditions are rough. Routes are marked as A to C - Okaihau to Waimate; A to D - Okaihau to Kerkeri; A to E - Okaihau to Haruru Falls; A to F - Okaihau to Kawakawa. Okaihau, Russell and Kawakawa are underlined in red and Ohaeawai, Waimate, Black Bridge and Opua are handwritten in red ink. An accompanying letter requests that this work be considered, includes estimates, and gives information about the colour coding of the roads. No reference key is given.
