Akaroa French Cemetery
A cemetery of the city: lying in Akaroa, the ground as the open map draws it.
Where it lies
The grounds as OpenStreetMap outlines them, a mapper’s draw, not the surveyed title. The strong outline is the suburb.
The ground under it
The plans and surveys kept here, asked once of the pin. The whole stack answers live: what stood on this ground →

In Akaroa, Christchurch, the map draws its grounds as an outline, inside the city boundary.
No, the map records the ground, not the graves. Burial records live with the council’s cemetery search and the headstone transcriptions, both linked from the page.
The record behind this
The ground is OpenStreetMap’s, a named node, way or relation tagged landuse=cemetery inside the city boundary (ODbL). The ground is the map’s; the graves are the council’s, the register of plots above is their Green Assets layer (gmCemeteryPlot), names included only where the death is seventy years gone or more.
