General Description of Block XI., Totoro Survey District.

This land is portion of the Aorangi Block, and lies principally to the north of the Mokau-iti Stream, twenty-two to twenty-six miles from Te Kuiti Railway-station. Te Kuiti is 126 miles south of Auckland by rail, and the route to the block is along the Mokau-Te Kuiti Road to Pio Pio, sixteen miles, where a bridle-track of four miles reaches to the Mokau River at the Wairere Punt Crossing. The road then follows a south-easterly direction up the Rangikohua Valley through Native land for about two miles. The principal roads for opening up the block will be the Kohua Road, running along the Rangikohua Stream, and the Mokau-iti Road up the Mokau-iti Valley, and connecting at the south-western corner of the block with the Puha Road, a connecting road between the Kohua and the Ohura-Mokau Roads. The general character of the country is of a broken nature, rising rather steeply from the valleys, some of the ridges being very sharp, while others are flat. The altitude varies from about 430 ft. on the western boundary to about 1,300 ft. at Oniao, the end of the Hauturu Ranges; the average height being from 700 ft. to 800 ft. The soil throughout ranges from good to poor, resting on a papa and sandstone formation, and all the sections, generally speaking, are well watered, and consist of open fern and manuka on the lower portions, with light to heavy bush on the ridges. On the eastern end of the block there is a large raupo swamp, draining into the Mokau-iti Stream.

As witness the hand of His Excellency the Governor, this twenty-fourth day of November, one thousand nine hundred and four.
