Drawn in 1921, this detailed map of Templestowe, in Melbourne’s northeast, captures the region at a time when farmland, river bends, and unsealed tracks defined the landscape. It records a quiet, agricultural district just beyond the edge of early 20th-century suburban growth.
The map traces the course of the Yarra River as it winds through sparsely settled terrain—parish boundaries, early roadways, and survey lines laid out long before modern development reshaped the area. Every element reflects the slower, land-based rhythm of the time.
Reproduced from high-resolution archival material, this print holds both visual appeal and historical depth. Ideal for collectors of vintage Victorian cartography, local historians, or those with personal ties to Manningham, it brings quiet character to any space.
Fun Fact: In 1921, much of Templestowe’s produce—especially stone fruit—was carted into Melbourne by horse and wagon, a journey that could take half a day depending on the road conditions.
