After 185 years Colonel William Light's map of Adelaide is now digital. His "Plan of the City..." includes the names of the original purchasers of the 1042 acre sections. Zoom in to an acre to see its buyer. See how many acres the great OG bought. Search by name.

The Light/Gliddon map was published in 1837, not 1840 as is often catalogued. It is the earliest published map of Adelaide and its individual acres.
