| Layer Id | 2768 | Name | Ham's Squatting Map, 1849 |
| Description | Locations of squatting runs according to Ham's Squatting Map, 1849 edition in Victoria and southern NSW (Tumut District). This map is particularly useful for locating places referred to Australian colonial history, as squatters runs were often the main point of reference, along with rivers. Accurate to only approx. 5km due to quality of the historical map and time. An attempt has been made to situate map points relative to landmarks, such as on the right side of the river. Locations of squats were broad and general in any case. Refer to the source map and other information if more precision is needed. |
