Book description: Melbourne: 1851. Period outline color, 18 x 28¼ inches. Dedication to "His Excellency Sir Chas. A. Fitz Roy, Knt., Governor of New South Wales." Cloth backed and folding into green cloth covers. A rare early separate map of Victoria and the neighboring Port Phillip District of New South Wales. The map is filled with a great wealth of detail. Settlement and counties are almost completely confined to the southwestern portion of Victoria, with many parts still completely unknown. Southeastern Victoria is labeled "Unsurveyed Country," for example; and a part of neighboring New South Wales is described as "Supposed Hilly County." Topographical notations are given throughout: "Dense Mallee Scrub," "Forest & Scrubby Country," "Extensive Grassy Plains," "Unsurveyed Country High Ranges & Scrub," and so forth. A lengthy reference at lower left identifies "Rivers Surveyed by Government," "Rivers Unsurveyed by Government," "Lands Purchased from the Crown," "Lands open for location," "Road-side Inns," "Squatting Stations," and much more.
