Mokihinui Mine rests in a fold of the land, a place where the Mokihinui River, a lively ribbon of grey-green water, carves its way towards unseen horizons. It lies 105.6 km west-south-west of Stoke (from Stoke: bearing 253°T), and is situated 39.1 km east-north-east of Westport. The terrain here is a textured tapestry of rolling hills, cloaked in the deep, verdant hues of native bush, with the more rugged slopes of the Glasgow Range providing a constant, watchful backdrop. Sunlight, when it breaks through the often-brooding West Coast skies, falls in broad, luminous swathes across the landscape, illuminating the damp, dark earth and the resilient undergrowth that clings to the inclines. The air itself carries a certain dampness, a cool breath drawn from the surrounding forests, and the quietude is punctuated only by the rustle of leaves and the distant murmur of the river.

This locality, though not directly on the coast, carries the echoes of a history tied to the earth's bounty. For a time, the promise of mineral wealth drew a hardy sort of endeavour to Mokihinui Mine, a chapter now largely relegated to memory and the occasional weathered remnant. Today, the surrounding land supports a more pastoral rhythm, with pockets of farmland interspersed amongst the dense Mokihinui Forest, and the economy finds its footing in the quiet hum of local enterprise. The Charming Creek Walkway, a well-trodden path, offers a gentle invitation to explore the immediate environs, a pathway that winds through dappled light and the rich scent of damp soil, a subtle testament to the enduring connection between the people and this particular corner of the West Coast region.

About This Mokihinui Mine Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Mokihinui Mine, West Coast, New Zealand at coordinates -41.58333, 172.01667. 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.
