Map of Tasmania

Map of Tasmania:

Below are some maps of Tasmania. Tasmania was first discovered in the 1600's and numerous maps of the island have been made since this time. Initially it was called Van Diemens Land and a map of the island was first made by Abel Tasman. Later Captain James Cook recharted the island. Tasmania has a number of natural resources and various maps were made to identify these as a means of planning settlement and the strategic importance of the island.

Below are three maps of Tasmania made in different times and for different purposes:
