A map is a graphical representation of a geographical actuality.  However, though some maps are more representative than others, no map is absolutely correct.  The maps on this site are not exempt from this rule.

Railway Dam Walking Tracks Map

This map covers the northern part of the Fryers Ridge State Forest to the west of Elphinstone, Victoria, Australia.  It includes the route of the ParksVic "Junction Walk", part of the Poverty Gully Channel, Railway Dam and northern sections of Railway Dam Road and Tunnel Hill Track.  It overlaps the CCM maps The Monk to the west and Fryers Ridge to the south.

Why the name Junction Walk? "To the south of the railway line, between the tunnel entrance and bridge, was an early settlement called the Junction.  The original main gold route to the Diggings went through there, and then cut across to Expedition Pass Reservoir (then known as Golden Point)". — David Bannear.  The railway works in the vicinity of the junction are itemised in the Victorian Heritage Database Report: Elphinstone Railway Precinct.

The intended hardcopy format (as PDF) for the map is A4.
