While this map of the Wellington region was ostensibly printed to show the area under the control of the Hutt County and Makara County councils, at the time of printing it also included those areas formerly part of Hutt County which had either formed separate independent local authorities or had joined Wellington City. Usefully, the map shows land parcel divisions and the legal addresses then in use for almost the entire region. Printed onto tracing vellum, the map was later annotated by hand with the addition of streams and rivers being drawn in blue ink (the map may have been used for hydrological or water supply / stormwater drainage purposes). A later version of this map has also been digitised and can be seen here.
