- Description
Photographs of topographical plans in Waikato Region, from Lake Taupo to Putaruru. Images include forestry and land blocks, a reference layout plan of where the planting blocks are situated, photographs of the land (with some areas already in young pines), a railway route design, a site plan of the proposed town at Tokoroa with two mills and a schedule of plantings as had already been made between 1924-1932. Also includes three photographs of display boards, each with eight photographs and captions.
The glass negatives were produced in the 1930s by Harrison and Grierson and Paxton who were engaged by Perpetual Forests Ltd (later NZ Forest Products Ltd) to prepare topographic surveys for areas from Lake Taupo to Putaruru. Most of the images show plans of areas that Perpetual Forests appears to have been acquiring from 'The Australasian Forestry Bondholders Trust Company Ltd', along with some Crown land.
