Map Search includes thousands of Australian topographic maps, tourist maps, cadastral or parish maps - showing property boundaries and administrative areas, planning maps, geological maps, and more! You can view these historical maps overlaid on three current map base layers.

Explore Map Search to see in fine detail how your local region has changed over the years, and share your family history finds.
