More Information
This is a fine example of Bartholomew's 1890 map of South Australia and Queensland in Australia. The map is divided into two parts, with the map on the left featuring the southern part of the Australian state of South Australia and the map on the right featuring Queensland. South Australia is covered from Taunton south as far as Grey and west as far as Musgrave. Queensland is covered in its entirety and includes the Territory of Papua (British New Guinea as it was annexed by Britain just two year prior to the issue of this map) on the island of New Guinea. The Barrier Reef off the coast of Queensland is marked. Both maps are highly detailed along the coast line and are color coded according to regions and territories. Various rivers, railways, towns, cities, ports and several other topographical details are noted. Relief is shown by hachure. This map was issued as page no. 83 in Bartholomew's Library Reference Atlas.
