This vintage 1883 map of Mornington County, Victoria offers a detailed look at the region as it was being surveyed and divided in the late nineteenth century. Covering a broad stretch of land β from Warrandyte through to Wonthaggi and across to French Island β the map documents early land subdivisions, boundaries, and place names that shaped the areaβs development.
Originally created as a working survey map, it reflects a time when much of the region was still rural and sparsely settled. Roads, allotments, and waterways are carefully marked, revealing how surveyors and planners imagined the future of what are now some of Victoriaβs most familiar landscapes. The fine linework and aged paper give the map a quiet authority, offering a window into the practical decisions that influenced how the region grew.
A compelling piece for those interested in Victorian history, land surveying, or the evolution of coastal and regional communities, this print suits both traditional and contemporary interiors.
Fun fact: In the 1880s, many of the areas shown on this map were accessed primarily by horseback or boat β rail and road connections across the region were still decades away.
