Description: The bottom half of the South Island, from just above Banks Peninsula to Stewart Island, showing the lakes of the Southern Alps and Fiordland, somewhat inaccurately. The overall shape of the East Coast around South Canterbury / North Otago is also inaccurately drawn, making the island too narrow. The details of the interior were not drawn from first-hand knowledge but probably from Maori informants There is a very similar map in the Cartographic Collection, also by Mantell and done in 1848. The main differences are in the dotted lines Mantell has drawn across the island, probably land-sale indicators. Both maps drawn while Mantell was Commissioner for the Extinguishment of Native Titles Quantity: 1 drawing(s). Physical Description: Ink, pencil with some watercolour
