  What a beautifully produced map. I love the drawings at top right.

• Museums of History NSW - State Archives Collection said:

  I agree. These old maps and plans really are beautiful and the detail in each one is extraordinary.

• Luc said:

  This map is amazing. I can even see my district along the river.

• Museums of History NSW - State Archives Collection said:

  Thanks for your comment, Historically_Sympathetic. We're hoping to add more maps to our photostream soon.

• Material Quince said:

  It's amazing. I didn't realise Minto had settled so early. Also I love the area that says "Cow Pasture" now where modern day Hoxton Park, Hinchinbrook and Green Valley lie. Why does the map appear to be on its "side" though? Appearing to show the areas of south-west Sydney facing north. It makes for a weird perspective. I think I can see a symbol showing north, but I'm so used to seeing maps with north facing upward these days, it took a few seconds to get the sense of perspective on the map initially.
