Toitū Te Whenua | Land Information NZ provides digital and hard copy maps of Aotearoa
Ngā Pou Taunaha o Aotearoa New Zealand Geographic Board has recently produced updated maps and lists of Māori place names for both Te Waipounamu and Te Ika-a-Māui. Hard copies have been sent to schools and you can also download the PDF maps.

About the updates:
The second edition maps improved on the first edition with corrections, original names restored as cultural redress through Treaty of Waitangi settlements, and names resulting from direct consultation with iwi and hapū. For Te Waipounamu, names were comprehensively reassessed after Te Rūnanga o Ngāi Tahu’s decades of additional research on its cultural heritage, published in its online cultural heritage atlas Kā Huru Manu.
