Maps

Research Guide to maps at Queensland State Archives.

QSA has an extensive collection of maps and charts (navigational and hydrographic). The focus of the collection is Queensland, from 1824 to the present, although there are a small number of maps of the whole of Australia and of Papua New Guinea. The collection comprises published and unpublished maps and plans produced by the Department of Lands and its predecessor agencies, and by other government departments such as Mapping and Surveying, Mines, Railways, Harbours and Marine, Irrigation and Water Supply, and Forestry. There are also sundry plans drawn by private surveyors and contractors.
