Atlas of the Suburbs of Sydney

Published by commercial map makers Higinbotham, Robinson and Harrison in the late nineteenth century, the maps of the Atlas of the Suburbs of Sydney provide a portrait of the city's municipalities during a period of rapid growth and suburbanisation.

Maps

Lane Cove

Affluent suburb on lower North Shore. Industry developed there in the nineteenth century, but lack of access to the district limited residential development until the early twentieth century.

Willoughby

Lower north shore residential suburb, possibly named by Surveyor-General Sir Thomas Mitchell after Sir James Wiloughby Gordon, under whom he had served in the Peninsular War. It is the site of the Channel Nine studio and transmission tower, and of an incinerator designed by Walter Burley Griffin.
