The map is not just a representation of the physical geography but also a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the region. The map's title, "Les Sounds de la Nouvelle-Zelande," refers to the numerous sounds and bays that dot the coastline of New Zealand, providing shelter and protection to its inhabitants for centuries. The map's creator remains unknown, but it was published in the French geographical magazine "Grande Geographie Illustree" in 1914.
