NRS-18310 | Administrative maps [East Maitland District Office]

District office copies of administrative maps created to provide cadastral data for the orderly management, conservation and disposal of Crown lands. The Administrative Map contains the following detail: title; scale; north point; place names; notes and boundaries by legend and line coding. It includes roads, freehold, incomplete purchases, acquired lands, land tenure information, portions (numbered with a sequential parish number) with area and original grantee or tenure by abbreviation and the Crown Plan reference.The following schedules are included on the Parish Map: Reference to portions including portion number, survey plan reference, location and Certificate of Title reference, the grantee or tenure details; Reference notes which refer to sequential encircled numbers shown on the map and notes in relation to them; Mining surveys include mineral lease reference numbers, plan, area and purpose.Classified Areas includes land reference, purpose and gazette references The Crown Lands Act 1884 established Land Districts, Land Boards and Land Board Offices for decentralised administration. As a result Parish Maps were prepared for the Central and Eastern Divisions of the State to provide cadastral data for the orderly management, conservation and disposal of Crown lands. The District Office Administrative Maps were originally duplicated by Administrative Maps held at Head Office. Amendments and updates made to the District Office Administrative Maps were not always made to the Head Office Administrative Maps. The Head Office Administrative Maps were discontinued after 30 December 1990. Thereafter amendments and updates were only made to the District Office Administrative Maps.
