Pouakai andesite (red shading) in centre of map. To its south-south-east is the younger and presently larger in andesitic direct deposits volcano of Mount Taranaki. The surrounding debris and lahar fields are not shown but include the green forested area on the map. To its north west are the older volcanoes of the small cone of Pukeiti, then the Kaitake. Clicking on the map enlarges it, and enables panning and mouseover of volcano name/wikilink and ages before present. Key for the volcanics that are shown with panning is: basalt (shades of brown/orange), monogenetic basalts,
undifferentiated basalts of the Tangihua Complex in Northland Allochthon,
arc basalts, arc ring basalts,
dacite,
andesite (shades of red), basaltic andesite,
rhyolite, (ignimbrite is lighter shades of violet),
and plutonic. White shading is selected caldera features.

The Pouakai Range is an eroded and heavily vegetated stratovolcano in the North Island of New Zealand, located northwest of Mount Taranaki. It consists of the remains of a collapsed Pleistocene stratovolcano. The range is surrounded by a ring plain of lahar deposits from a massive collapse that has been dated as roughly 250,000 years old.[2]
The region has been reshaped more recently after each cone collapse from Mount Taranaki.[3]
