Map centered to show selected surface volcanic deposits in area of postulated Maroa Caldera/Volcanic Centre (light green shading, boundary particularly in south-east ill defined). The present surface ignimbrite is various light violet shades which are identical for any single source, but other eruptions may breakup the mutual ignimbrite sheets. White shading has been used for other postulated calderas (usually subsurface now) including the older overlapping Whakamaru Caldera.
