Description
English: Map showing the only part of the ACT border to be determined by property boundaries, a small section in the south east between the Queanbeyan-Cooma railway line and the eastern watershed of Gudgenby River. The ACT is highlighted in red. The red line in the top right is a proposed addition to Commonwealth territory which did not come about. Note three different sections of the ACT border:
  • Near the top right of this map, the border is the Queanbeyan-Cooma railway line
  • In the centre shows the properties mentioned in the Seat of Government Acceptance Act, 1909: "and bounded thence by that railway generally southerly to the south-eastern corner of portion 177, Parish of Keewong, County of Murray, by the southern boundaries of that portion and portions 218, 211, 36, and 38 generally westerly to the Murrumbidgee River, by that river downwards to a point east of the south-east corner of portion 68, Parish of Cuppacumbalong, County of Cowley, by a line partly forming the southern boundary of that portion west to the eastern watershed of Gudgenby River" (The Murrumbidgee River divides the Parish of Cuppacumbalong in the County of Cowley, on the left, from the Parish of Keewong in the County of Murray, on the right - this boundary is marked with x-x-x lines. The parish names are both visible here, but cut off. )
  • In the bottom left of this map, the boundary uses the watershed (note how it passes through the property boundaries here)
