- Atlas showing street plans of localities within the City of Sydney showing buildings and shops street by street circa 1879. The title page with the index map also contains a key to assist in interpreting the following maps - main construction material (pink indicating brick or stone, yellow indicating wood, or blue indicating iron) ; the circled number indicates number of stories ; SH indicates a shingle roof, otherwise it is metal or slate
- Note this publication's map sheets are numbered so several numbered plans adjoin on one sheet and each sheet is identified overleaf with this set of numbers (Copy 1 only). Therefore, numbering of sheets involves a set of consecutive numbers e.g. first sheet is Sheet no. 1,2,3,4.
- "In 1879 Percy Dove produced a series of plans outlining the streets, lanes, buildings and passageways of the city. These plans were utilised by insurance companies, as well as city and government departments"--Minding the streets - finding your way. City of Sydney [cited 26 Feb. 2008].
