Van Diemen’s Land or Tasmania.

First edition of this large scale c.19th map of Tasmania based on the surveys by Thomas Scott, assistant to George William Evans, Surveyor General of Van Diemen’s Land.

Scott surveyed much of the early settlements between 1822-1824, explored parts of the east coast and laid out the town of Bothwell. The western half of the state has been further explored than on Scott’s chart where is was noted as, This Part of the Country is Unknown.
