District of the Loddon Victoria

Scarce c.19th hand coloured map of the County of Loddon Victoria, from the first county atlas published of the state. The map extends west to Charlton, to Moama in the east and north to the Murray RIver and south to Glenloghie. Roads and pastoral runs are shown.

Hiscock states for prospective purchasers the following;

‘This Atlas is the first of the kind ever produced in the colony, and will be thoroughly authentic to date of publication. It will be found eminently useful to the Merchant and Squatter as a work of reference, and to the schollmaster or man of family it is best means extant of furnishing the rising generation of the colony with a thorough geographical knowledge of Victoria’. (June 1874)

From, F.E. Hiscock & Co’s New Victorian Counties Atlas.
