Local position of Military settlements - red circles. Lines of road to be made at a future period - brown. The crosses (black) represent the distribution of the Native Population approximately each cross representing about 100 souls.' However, this not written on this edition.
The military settlements are most dense in the Wanganui, South Taranaki, New Plymouth, Waipa, Waikato and South Waikato districts and north of the Manawatu River.
No such settlements are identified around Wellington, Auckland, Napier or the East Coast north of Mahia.
Most populated areas are the East Cape, Whanganui River, Waikato district.
