- Annotated map of northwest Queensland near the South Australian border, the area extending from Lat. 25 ̊47' 15" (The Blufs) north to Leichhardt Falls of the Leichhardt River. The map features the time-dated route of the Hodgkinson's North Western Exploration Party and includes many annotations on topography and land features. In 1876 William Oswald Hodgkinson was appointed leader of the Northwest Expedition which aimed to explore the region of the Diamantina River. The party started at the Cloncurry River in May 1876 and crossed the watershed to the Diamantina which they followed south. After reaching Lake Coongi in South Australia they turned west following the Mulligan River and then the Herbert northwards towards the Gulf of Carpentaria, finally returning to Brisbane by way of Normanton, Cloncurry and the Flinders River. This expedition effectively bridged the gap between the point where Sturt was foiled for want of water in 1845 and the extreme point of Landsborough's exploration of the Herbert in 1862. Relief is shown by hachures and spot heights.
