  • Description

Chart of Van Diemen's Land 1824

A Chart of Van Diemen's Land from the best authorities and from actual survey by Thomas Scott, Assistant Surveyor General of Lands in the Island. Most respectfully dedicated to William Sorell Lieutenant Governor.' The map was engraved by Charles Thomson (Cross) Edinburgh from the original survey brought home by Captain Dixon of the ship Skelton of Whitby. Published in 1824, the map shows names of grants and mileages. 

Thomas Scott (1800–1855) arrived in Van Diemen’s Land in 1820 and was appointed assistant surveyor under deputy surveyor Evans. It was the beginning of the arrival of many free settlers with varying amounts of capital to start a new life in Van Diemen’s Land with free Grants and convict labour. The comparison between Evans’ chart and that of Scott two years later is remarkable. Evans and party had made a detailed exploration of Macquarie Harbor and due to his surveying exploits, the East Coast was better known. Grants were being taken up at Oyster Bay. The other parts of the island were still unknown. 

Original size: 67.5 cm x 90 cm.
