Description:	Folding paper map of Adelaide, South Australia, and the Adelaide Plains. Hand coloured. Folds into Report Of The Colonization Commissioners. Disbound but in very good condition. While this map was first printed in May of 1839, the survey work for it was actually carried out by Colonel William Light before June 1838, after which Light became the principal survey for the firm Light, Finniss & Co. When viewing this map please bear in mind that the names recorded on it are accurate to 1838.
	MAPCO also has a later edition of this map updated to 1840 on display. It is interesting to compare the 1839 edition of this map with the 1840 map, which records later purchasers of land across the Adelaide plains area.
