Darling Downs land use map, 1952. Under the Land and Water Resources Development Acts, 1943 to 1946, the Bureau of Investigation’s annual report summarised its inquiry into agricultural development in the Darling Downs. The report included a ‘tentative’ soil map to assist future planning as well as this land use map. This map showed areas under cropping and different types of grazing and was compiled using aerial photographs and records from the government statistician.
