Contextual Information

Crossland and Hardy is a surveying firm established since 1868, and the map is marked with the initials “CML.”
Enquires with Crossland and Hardy in 2012 failed to turn up the identity of CML, however it was confirmed that this map was a compilation document produced from data available at the Department of Lands (now Landgate) to be used as a reference guide in other projects.
