Abstract
<p>The Norfolk Island Archipelago offers researchers propitious instances relevant to toponymy and cartography. This position piece details the role and placement of toponyms as mappable cultural capital using the example of Phillip Island, a small island six kilometres south of Norfolk. Maps are presented and a toponymic hierarchy is defined and explicated. The hierarchy reveals Norf'k names - toponyms in the Norfolk Island language - exist as more 'authentic', i.e. Norf'k names are more highly valued by the community than English names.</p>
