Old maps of Perth

[stephbg]

For gemfyre, an old street map of Perth around the area of the proposed Stephenson Highway. Amusing if you're familiar with the modern Osborne Park area. Dated late 60s/early 70s. It should be possible to pin down a publication date if necessary.

I didn't realise the Freeway (up to Hutton Street) was so young! I guess I had assumed that it was built around the same time as the Narrows. I suppose it serves as another reminder of how rapidly the city is growing.

That is such a cool thing to find! I love old maps for the history they store. Must be the geographer in me :-)

I can't find a date, but it's a UBD 4th edition with an ISBN so it should be possible to find out. I grew up with it but I'm quite curious now :-)
