Appendix H - Map Boundaries / Extents Guide
1. Introduction
This appendix explains and defines the standard map extents to be used for published 1:250 000 and 1:100 000 scale maps. The appendix also details the geographical extents of adjusted maps sheets. Geographical extents for other adjusted (customised) map sheet extents not appearing in this appendix will be contained in the project file for the individual map unit/area.
2.Types of Extents
Standard sheet area: the standard sheet areas are 1o in latitude by 1o 30' in longitude for 1:250 000 and 30' in latitude by 30' in longitude for 1:100 000.
Bleed edge: A bleed edge exists for the 1:250 000 map, where the map is extended 3'to the north and 5' to the east. The bleed edge extensions are measured from the top right hand corner of the trimmed map. Unless otherwise specified the map extents will be the standard sheet area plus a bleed edge for the 1:250 000 product (only). No bleed edge exists for the 1:100 000 map.
Adjusted sheets: these sheets have been extended east-west and/or north-south, swung to a portrait format or displaced to eliminate maps which are largely sea area and to contain certain features on a single map. Adjusted map extent layout formats (guides) will be supplied as required.
Insets: Insets are used to display some islands and other offshore features which would not warrant production of a separate map.
3. Paper Sizes and Map Layouts
The table below details the trimmed paper sizes for 1:250 000 and 1:100 000 maps. All paper sizes fold down to the same size.

The following diagrams show the relationship of trimmed paper size to the number of folds and map extents and indicate the layout of information in the margin. The relationship to the detailed layout guides in Appendix B is also given together with any modifications due to trimmed paper size. The maximum printing area will extend 40 mm above the trim line at the top, 30 mm out from the trim line at the sides and 10 mm at the bottom. All registration marks, colour control and map bleed will fall within the maximum printing area.

4. Layouts for unadjusted 1:100 000 sheets
For all standard (unadjusted) 100K map sheets, the Map Layout Code will be 3A
5. Layouts for unadjusted 1:250 000 sheets
This index shows the layout for unadjusted maps. The table following this index indicates layouts for adjusted sheets. Appendix G shows both adjusted and unadjusted maps on the one index. Because the sheet extents are defined by geographicals and the distance along a parallel of latitude decreases away from the equator, the width of the map detail decreases going south hence the use of three sheet layouts for unadjusted maps.

This table gives the extents for the map for adjusted 1:100 000 maps. The maps are in order by their number.
