Waikiekie is a place where the land rolls with a quiet persistence, its contours etched by ancient forces. It lies 25.6 km south-south-west of Whangarei (from Whangarei: bearing 199°T), and is situated 23.7 km south-south-west of Onerahi. The country here is predominantly farmland, a patchwork of greens and golds under a wide Northland sky. Gentle hills, softened by time and cultivation, rise and fall, their slopes often cloaked in the deeper, more mysterious shades of native bush. Creeks and smaller waterways, tributaries to the larger Mangawai River, meander through the valleys, their banks often fringed with the lush growth that thrives in this fertile inland landscape. The air itself carries a clean, earthy scent, a blend of damp soil, sun-warmed grass, and the subtle perfume of unseen blossoms.

The economy of Waikiekie has long been tied to the generous earth, with dairy farming forming the backbone of its livelihood. Generations have worked these fields, their lives unfolding in rhythm with the seasons and the needs of their herds. Scattered amongst the pastures, one can sometimes glimpse the darker, more rugged silhouette of the Tangihua Range in the distance, a constant reminder of the wilder landscapes that lie beyond. While agriculture remains paramount, pockets of forestry also dot the region, and the proximity to the Marertu Forest suggests a connection to timber and its associated trades, a quiet industry that has shaped the character of Waikiekie for decades.

About This Waikiekie Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Waikiekie, Northland, New Zealand at coordinates -35.95, 174.23333. 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.
