Blocks, Boundaries & Titles — Byron Bay Town Centre (Historic Wall Map, 1972)
Stand in Byron Bay before the boom—parcel by parcel. This 1972 cadastral wall map brings the parish boundaries, individual land holdings (who owned which plots), and spot-height relief into crisp focus, turning the town’s fabric into a readable story of settlement, tenure, and change. It’s Byron as a ledger of lines and names—made to study, admire, and display.
More Than a Map – A Testament to History
This isn’t just wall art—it’s the paperwork of place. Every boundary, lot number, and owner label captures how land was divided, transferred, and lived on at a specific moment in time. Perfect for local historians, genealogists, planners, designers, educators, and collectors, it’s both a striking centrepiece and a rigorous research tool.
Display it in studios, libraries, schools, museums, offices, or your home to invite reflection, study, and conversation.
