Two maps that provide a great view of the rapid advance of knowledge in the region during the nineteenth century. New Holland And New Zealand by Jeremiah Greenleaf, circa 1842 (13 x 10.7") shows the interior of Australia nearly completely blank with detail confined to the coastlines and New South Wales. A dotted line splits the country down the middle. Johnson's Australia published by Johnson and Ward, circa 1863 (15.5 x 12.5"). It provides considerably more topographical information with political division into seven counties.
