How To Read Gold Maps

Описание: Historical gold maps provide insights into the geological features and gold mining operations of the past, helping prospectors to determine ideal locations to search for gold. If you’re just starting out and are seeing some of the terms and features displayed on these maps for the first time, things can get a little confusing.

Today we’re going to take a look at some of these features, what they mean and what they look like, so you can have a better understanding of these old gold maps. You will find many of these features displayed on modern gold maps as well.

If you’re interested in checking out goldfields maps, head over to my website historicalgoldmaps.com.au, which provides an online directory of historical goldfields maps, all free to view online.

You’ll also find some of my all-time favourites as huge high quality prints, which have been professionally restored, enhanced, and styled as a set.
