Auckland Maps and Orientation

(Auckland, North Island, New Zealand NZ)



Forming the very heart of the Auckland Metropolitan Area, the city of Auckland resides on the northern side of the North Island, where it serves as a major international gateway for New Zealand. The city has grown up around an isthmus (narrow strip of land) straddling the Tamaki River and the Mangere Inlet, which at its very narrowest is now more than 2 km / 1.2 miles in width and links the Northland peninsula with the North Island.

Auckland is called home by two important harbours - the Waitemata Harbour (east, opening on to the Hauraki Gulf) and the Manukau Harbour (north, opening on to the Tasman Sea). Several sizeable bridges span the harbours, with the most important include the Auckland Harbour Bridge (Waitemata Harbour) and the Mangere Bridge (Manukau Harbour).
