Description

Sketch plan showing the outlet of the Waikato River from Lake Taupo, the positioning of buoys approaching the outlet and land use in the immediate vacinity to the outlet. The location of the township of Taupo, the Taupo Napier Main Road, Tongariro, Ruapehu and Roberts Streets are shown on one side of the lake and the Rangaira No 8A land block and a public and dedicated road are shown on the opposite side of the lake. Hasures, a rock outcrop at the edge of the lake, and an area named Landing Res. on the township side of the outlet are also shown. A notation along the Taupo Napier Main Road states "Edge of steep cliffs." No soundings are shown, but pencilled lines running parallel to each other from the outlet into the lake with alphabetical and Roman numerical characters drawn on the lines suggest an area where soundings might have been placed.
