Notes

Photographic reduced reproduction of Griffin's plan for Canberra, dated 1918 and showing proposed streets, railways and buildings, etc. Note that the map features the planned watercourse through Canberra from the Molonglo River in the west, then West Lake, West Basin, Molonglo Basin, East Basin and lastly East Lake. This reproduction suffers from black patches that obscure the original detail. Relief by contours and spot heights.
