Lodes, Leases & Lines — Western Australia Historical Goldfield Maps: Leonora (Historic Wall Map)
Read the country the way prospectors did—by its veins. This Leonora district sheet from the Western Australia Historical Goldfield Maps series sets the gold leases, registered fields, and mining district boundaries in crisp relief, overprinted on an Australia 1:250,000 topographic base. With relief shown by shading and spot heights and an indexed plans overlay, the map turns survey data into a clear story of discovery, tenure, and terrain—made to study, admire, and display.
More Than a Map – A Testament to History
This is not just wall art—it’s the paper trail of a gold rush. Every lease outline, field boundary, and topographic cue reveals how miners, surveyors, and officials read the land, carved claims, and linked camps by track and rail. Perfect for local historians, genealogists, geologists, educators, designers, and collectors, this map is both a striking centrepiece and a rigorous research tool.
Display it in studios, libraries, schools, museums, offices, or your home, and create a space that invites reflection, study, and conversation.
