Description:
Scarce map of the County of Gipps Land Victoria from the first county atlas published of the state, extending west to Buneep, to New South Wales border in the east and north to Livingston and south to Wilsons Promontory. Roads and pastoral runs are shown. Surrounding the map are detailed lists of Creeks, Stations, Post Towns and Mountains.
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.
