CADASTRAL / TOPOGRAPHIC MAP OF CULHAM TO SOUTH BINDOON
1942Mixed cadastral/topographic map of the area between Culham to South Bindoon.
The map is a reproduction created by the Australian Section of the Imperial General Staff and is dated to 1942, showing topography, vegetation types, waterways in addition to lots and property boundaries, as well as roads, railway lines, tracks and some farm buildings.
Some of the farm buildings have been named as well as some of the rail landings.
Scale 1 inch to 1 mile.
Printed on paper with coloured inks and shows minor tears along the margins and severe
fraying along the top. The map may also show insect damage at the top right hand corner. The map is slightly creased as it has been previously stored in a folded state however the map is considered to be in good condition.
This is one of a collection of cadastral five maps of the Avon region accessioned into the museum collection in 2012 (under accession numbers 2012.42 - 2012.46 inclusive). It is unknown how these five maps came to be located in the Museum Workshops however it is assumed they were once used by the Shire’s Planning Department and then donated.

Map created by the Australian Section of Imperial General staff
With stamp "Authorised for Sale by the Department of the Army Price 2/-" [2 shillings]
Information compiled for Department of Army, under the direction of the Surveyor General, Department of Lands and Surveys, Western Australia with aid of Aerial photographs by the R.A.A.F. on western half.
Prepared by Australian Section Imperial General Staff, Perth, December 1942.
The framework of this map depends upon the First Order Triangulation, as carried out by the Australian Survey Corps, and data from Compilation Sheets, Department of Lands and Surveys, Western Australia.
The value of the items considered for accession lies in their research value as dated maps of land boundaries, farm buildings, tracks and rail lines for areas of the Avon region from 1942-1958. While these items are only of local significance, they are considered especially valuable in providing information for historical researchers in surrounding areas as well as Toodyay.
The Newcastle Gaol Museum currently has a number of 20th Century maps in the accessioned collection, including a small number of cadastral maps
