Mount Herbert / Te Ahu Patiki, 919 metres as the open map tags it, on the Port Hills' crater rim.
How many named summits does Christchurch have?
58 named summits and 32 named lookouts on the open map, plus 136 more drawn without a name.
Why do the hills carry two names?
The dual names are the map’s own, the Māori name and the later English one recorded together, the way the city’s signs now carry them. Each page lists every name the map knows.
Where does the summit map come from?
OpenStreetMap, every named peak and viewpoint inside the city boundary (ODbL). An elevation is the mapper’s tag, not a fresh survey; a listing is a lead, not a register entry.
The record behind this
Named peaks and viewpoints on OpenStreetMap, inside the city
boundary (ODbL). Elevations and dual names are the mapper’s tags,
kept verbatim; a listing is a lead, not a survey.
