Thanks for notifying us of these latest releases. Great collection of plans from the original Lands and Surveys Department of which James Sprent, as Surveyor-General, was the officer in charge. This was not the Land Titles Office, a different entity which did not exist at the time - it came into being with the Real Property Act of 1862. Land Titles relied on the Lands and Surveys Department to provide it with maps and charts used to compile the survey plans lodged in the LTO. Some notes on these survey plans - The Index Plan is not available in digital form. Part of the description of the collection is incorrect - it states "The maps include street names and landholders." The names on the maps are of the ORIGINAL GRANTEES, not necessarily the landowners at the time of survey. There are quite a few notations that have been added later, some in pencil, some in ink, latest ones in red ink - eg see map 63 - the note on the site of the gaol is dated 1967. Other notes around the Hospital site refer to acquistions in the name of "HM the Queen" - Elizabeth the Second! These were obviously "working" maps for some time. Note also that the names and alignments of some streets have changed. Some of the maps are labelled incorrectly - eg map 17 is labelled "Hobart Rivulet" but the map clearly and correctly says "Domain Rivulet". Pages 40 and 41 are out of sequence in the list - they are at the bottom of the page. Some parts seem to be missing - I have (illegible) copies of a previous release which are not in this list (both Old and New Wharf areas). -- Regards Mike Hurburgh --- This email is free from viruses and malware because avast!
