- This map by John Arrowsmith is based on the map of Southeastern Australia produced by Thomas Mitchell, and the three pioneer expeditions he led over the period 1831-1836. It includes Mitchell's surveying of the Nineteen Counties as well as provides a legend entitled "Routes of travellers into the interior" charting pioneer discoveries from Oxley in 1817 to Bourke in 1837 plus a listing of the 19 counties clustered around Sydney. Relief shown by hachures and spot heights.
- Tooley comments that this map is based on Arrowsmith's 1834 map entitled "Map of the discoveries in Australia"; the tracks of explorers include Mitchell, 1832-1836, and Bourke, 1837; South Australia is now named and given bounds; the course of the river Darling is clearly shown; much additional detail has been added to Victoria [Australia Felix]. There are many omissions compared to later versions: virtually no interior detail is given for the County of Gloucester, and the tracks of Hume and Hovell are shown in colour only but are not named.
