Church Atlas | Australia | Vintage Map

The map "Provincia Ecclesiastica di Sydney, Diocesi nella Nuova Zelanda e Vicariati Apostolici della Melanesia, Nuova Caledonia, dell'Oceania Centrale e dell'Arcipelago dei Navigatori" / "Ecclesiastical Province of Sydney, Dioceses in New Zealand and Apostolic Vicariates of Melanesia, New Caledonia, Central Oceania and the Navigator Islands (Samoa)" depicts Australia ("New Holland"), New Guinea, Melanesia and New Zealand as ecclesiastical mission territories. Australia is colored yellow and divided into colonial regions such as New South Wales, Van Diemen's Land (Tasmania) and the colony of South Australia, with cities like Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide and Perth. To the northeast, New Guinea (violet) and the Apostolic Vicariate of the Solomon Islands and New Britain follow. To the right, a network of further vicariates extends across Fiji, New Caledonia, Tonga and the "Navigator Islands" (Samoa), delineated in green and orange. At the bottom right, New Zealand is shown separately, with the dioceses of Wellington and Auckland, colored pink and gray respectively. The map thus combines geographical accuracy with the representation of the widely dispersed Catholic mission structure in the southwest Pacific, including numerous small island groups and their European names at the time.
