TALBOT, H. W. B. Topographical map of Meekatharra. Perth, Geological Survey of Western Australia, 1911. 980 x 470 mm. Large lithographed map. Numerous tears, as is. Topographical map of Meekatharra with an inset : Locality plan. A topographical field map depicting the region of Meekatharra, in the State of Western Australia, within the Murchison region, an area of extensive gold-mining activity. It likely served as a cartographic and scientific base for the geological and mining analysis of the Meekatharra district, which constitutes an important historic goldfield (including the Paddy’s Flat and Bluebird deposits). The map also shows the boundaries of mining leases, the gold-extraction zones, and the principal mining sites. The topographical and geological surveys were carried out as part of the Geological Survey of Western Australia's work, intended to document and regulate mining activity.
