Area of dry or relatively dry land surrounded by water or low wetland Data Dictionary for island_poly: http://apps.linz.govt.nz/topo-data-dictionary/index.aspx?page=class-island_poly This layer is a component of the Ant50 map series. This is the topographic mapping carried out at 1:50,000 scale by LINZ within the Ross Dependency, Antarctica.
-
Meltwater_stream; a flow of water that is supplied by melting glacier ice; a "glacial stream" often grayish-white in colour because of the "rock flour"resulting from glacial erosion. Data Dictionary for melt_stream_cl: http://apps.linz.govt.nz/topo-data-dictionary/index.aspx?page=class-melt_stream_cl This layer is a component of the Ant50 map series. This is the topographic mapping carried out at 1:50,000 scale by LINZ within the Ross Dependency, Antarctica.
-
Any standing body of fresh inland water. Data Dictionary for lake_poly: http://apps.linz.govt.nz/topo-data-dictionary/index.aspx?page=class-lake_poly This layer is a component of the Ant50 map series.

Area of dry or relatively dry land surrounded by water or low wetland Data Dictionary for island_poly: http://apps.linz.govt.nz/topo-data-dictionary/index.aspx?page=class-island_poly This layer is a component of the Topo50 map series. The Topo50 map series provides topographic mapping for New Zealand and it's offshore dependancies, at 1:50,000. For some small islands the printed map scale is 1:25,000. Although presented at 1:25,000 this layer, for all intents and purposes, forms part of the Topo50 map series. Further information on Topo50: http://www.linz.govt.nz/topography/topo-maps/topo50
-
An imaginary line that connects points of equal height value eg the elevation of the land surface above or below a vertical datum, in this case of LINZ topographic mapping, this is Mean Sea Level. Data Dictionary for contour: http://apps.linz.govt.nz/topo-data-dictionary/index.aspx?page=class-contour Although captured and presented at 1:25,000 this layer, for all intents and purposes, forms part of the Topo50 map series.

Geographic name holds the proper noun of certain objects within the Topo databases. Geographic_name does not apply to roads, railway lines, or descriptive text - eg 'Brunner Mine' would be a Geographic_name but 'mine disused' is held in the descriptive_text feature Data Dictionary for geographic_name: http://apps.linz.govt.nz/topo-data-dictionary/index.aspx?page=class-geographic_name This layer is a component of the Topo50 map series. The Topo50 map series provides topographic mapping for New Zealand and it's offshore dependancies, at 1:50,000. For some small islands the printed map scale is 1:25,000. Although presented at 1:25,000 this layer, for all intents and purposes, forms part of the Topo50 map series. Further information on Topo50: http://www.linz.govt.nz/topography/topo-maps/topo50
