	This series description was compiled as part of a project to capture the finding aids created prior to 1987 into the GAIMS system. The grouping of these maps into one series was done by the Hocken Library. The dates of the holdings are taken as the dates of the series. These records were transferred by the Department of Lands and Survey, Dunedin District Office, DAAK, to the Hocken Library between 1976 and 1983. The grouping of these records into serialisation of these records was done by Hocken Library. Hocken Library was the approved repository for Archives New Zealand until 1993. The end date for series relationship with DAAK is taken to be 1983.

            [history] => 

	John Turnbull Thomson, who arrived in New Zealand in 1856 to be the Provincial Surveyor for Otago, started work on the first reconnaissance surveys of the Otago and Southland Regions.

	The Reconnaissance and Run Maps record the following information, for the Otago and Southland Regions:

	

		

			Pastoral runs and their boundaries
	
	

		

			Pre-emptive rights on pastoral runs
	
	

		

			Legal roads
	
	

		

			Tracks
	
	

		

			Survey District boundaries
	
	

		

			Locations and names of towns and villages
	
	

		

			Counties
	
	

		

			Otago and Southland provincial boundaries
	
	

		

			Topographical features such as rivers, mountains, etc.
	
	

		

			Surveyed land.
	


	For other earlier maps and reconnaissance surveys, created between 1844 and 1873, see Accessions D205 and D497. Accession D497 contains maps of land set aside for Native or Maori Reserves. Land Information New Zealand still holds early maps for Otago and Southland.

	These maps in this Series were digitised in November 2017. They are jp2 (JPEG 2000) files.

	The arrangement of these records into series was done by the Hocken Library, using the 'record group' finding aid system. These records were assigned archives reference AG220/92/recon by Hocken Library.
