One Tree Hill rises as a sentinel of green against the Auckland sky, its gentle slopes a rich tapestry of pasture and native plantings. It lies 1.5 km south-east of Epsom (from Epsom: bearing 144°T), and is situated 5.7 km south-south-east of Auckland. The air here, though some kilometres from the open sea, carries a faint tang of salt from Hillsborough Bay, a whisper of the coast that lies to the east. Rolling hills unfurl outwards, a soft, undulating landscape that catches the morning light in a way that feels both ancient and ever-renewed, its volcanic origins still discernible in the fertile soil that nurtures the land. The summit offers a panoramic embrace of the surrounding countryside, a verdant expanse dotted with mature trees, their leaves rustling in the frequent breezes.

This place, historically significant and deeply rooted in the region's past, has long been a focal point for human endeavour. The economic lifeblood of One Tree Hill has traditionally been tied to the land, with dairy farming and horticulture shaping its character for generations, the rich volcanic earth proving a generous provider. The imposing presence of the hill itself, a prominent volcanic cone, has served as a natural landmark and a place of gathering, a silent witness to the ebb and flow of history. Today, One Tree Hill continues to be a place where the rhythms of the countryside meet the aspirations of a modern city, its enduring beauty a constant draw for travellers and locals alike.

About This One Tree Hill Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of One Tree Hill, Auckland, New Zealand at coordinates -36.8982, 174.78019. Use the Map and Satellite buttons to switch views, the plus and minus buttons to zoom, and Fullscreen to fill the screen.

Search Maps opens a second, independent map with four things the embedded map cannot do. It searches OpenStreetMap for any New Zealand town, suburb or landmark by name. It offers LINZ topographic maps as a base layer — the official Topo250 and Topo50 sheets, switching scale automatically as you zoom, and the standard reference for tramping, hunting and back-country travel. It offers LINZ aerial imagery down to 5cm resolution in urban areas. And it can take a single GPS fix from your device and report your position as both an NZTM2000 grid reference and plain latitude and longitude — the grid reference being what New Zealand search and rescue services work from. Map tiles require mobile coverage, but a GPS position does not, so the coordinates remain correct even where the map itself cannot load.
