This series of maps shows the transfer of North Island land ownership, from Māori ownership to general and Crown land, between 1860 and 1939. The brown areas represent Māori land (held in tribal ownership). Many of these transfers of ownership were transacted through the Native Land Court (renamed the Māori Land Court in 1947).
