Streets, Greens & Highlands — Bowral (Historic Wall Map, 1969)
See Bowral as it stood on the cusp of the modern Highlands—block by block and street by street. This stylish 1969 town map brings municipal boundaries, street layout, schools, golf courses, and the river corridor into crisp focus, with relief shown by spot heights to reveal the town’s rise and fall. It’s everyday geography turned into a portrait of place—made to study, admire, and display.
More Than a Map – A Testament to History
This isn’t just wall art—it’s a snapshot of community and terrain. Every road name, boundary line, campus marker, and fairway captures how Bowral was organised, moved through, and enjoyed at a particular moment in time. Perfect for local historians, Highlands families, town planners, educators, designers, and collectors, it’s both a striking centrepiece and a practical research tool.
Display it in studios, libraries, schools, museums, offices, or your home to invite reflection, study, and conversation.
