This is a c. 1950 Norman Brothers city plan or map of Melbourne, Australia. Streets are labeled throughout, and red dashed lines and solid red lines along streets trace electric and cable tramways. Town halls are illustrated and shaded red. Melbourne University, the Royal Park, Princes Park, Studley Park, and the Metropolitan Lunatic Asylum are identified. Noticeable black dots appear sporadically throughout and, per the 'references' table in Port Philip Bay, they mark bowling clubs. The black lines trace railways and the black boxes are stations, all of which are named. Concentric circles mark distances in quarter-mile increments from downtown Melbourne. The inset maps along the lower border are continuation maps that illustrate Sunshine, Footscray, and Braybrook. (more details)
