COUCHMAN, Th.s / SMITH, Collard. Victoria Geologically colored. Melbourne, Mining Department, 1880. 1160 x 1740 mm. Lithographié en couleurs. Folding map divided into 32 segments, mounted on linen in two sheets. In good condition. Victoria Geologically colored under the superintendence of Tho.s Couchman Secretary for Mines and Chief Mining Surveyor for the Colony of Victoria ; published by the direction of the Hon. W. Collard Smith M. P. Minister of Mines Mining Department Melbourne. Drawn by G. A. Windsor, engraved by William Slight, under the direction of A. J. Skene [...], geologically colored by Arthur Everet. This map was an early attempt to provide a comprehensive picture of Victoria’s geology. Based on existing GSV mapping - overlaid on the framework of Selwyn’s 1863 map of the colony - it represents a report on the Geological Survey’s progress to 1880. The ‘blobby’ and imprecise boundaries between different rock types in eastern Victoria indicate a lack of detailed mapping for that inaccessible part of the colony.
