This striking map of Tasmania depicts the island in intricate detail, unusual for a region that typically appeared in an inset on other maps of Australia from the period. It locates Hobart Town, George Town, Oatlands, Richmond, Bothwell, and other towns and settlements. The map identifies rivers, lakes, mountains, roads, harbors, smaller surrounding islands, and more. This is a later edition that has been updated around Macquarie Harbour and divided into 19 police districts. Published by Longman & Co.
