This GIS presents the author's current understanding of this significant mining heritage site. Interpretation is largely based on the Annual Reports to the Directors of the Waihi Gold Mining Company by H.P. Barry, a circa 1915 insurance and/or fire-fighting map, and high quality drone mapping (2022).
You may view the map in a larger window at Victoria Battery. This is also mobile friendly if you are using your phone, which, with GPS enabled, will allow you to walk through the mapped features.
