Northern Territory Wall Map H.E.C.Robinson 1953

H.E.C. Robinson — Northern Territory Wall Map (1953)

A snapshot of Australia’s Top End in the mid-twentieth century, rendered with clarity and restraint. This faithful 1953 H.E.C. Robinson wall map brings the Northern Territory into sharp focus. Towns and settlements, road hierarchies, state boundaries, and hydrography (rivers, lakes, coastline) are set out in clean, legible cartography that rewards both room-distance viewing and close study. It’s the fabric of the Territory—connected, navigable, and unmistakably of its era—made to study, admire, and display.

More Than a Map – A Testament to History

This isn’t just wall art—it’s a reference frame for how the Northern Territory moved, traded, and grew in the early post-war decades. Every road line, boundary mark, and watercourse captures infrastructure and settlement patterns at a pivotal time. Ideal for educators, planners, historians, designers, and collectors, this sheet stands alone beautifully and pairs powerfully with adjacent state maps for a cohesive national display.

Hang it in studios, libraries, classrooms, museums, offices, or at home to invite reflection, study, and conversation.
