1938 MAP (PART 14): SPRINGWOOD - MARTIN'S LOOKOUT - PERCH PONDS - SPRINGWOOD GULLY

1938 MAP (PART 14): SPRINGWOOD - MARTIN'S LOOKOUT - PERCH PONDS - SPRINGWOOD GULLY

The name "Springwood Gully" is shown on this map but I can't find it using the Google search engine. I'm pretty sure it is the place we know today as "Magdala Gully".
Modern maps show many more place names than the 1938 one does, as well as more tracks. A modern guidebook such as Veechi Stuart's "Blue Mountains Best Bushwalks" will help you identify locations.
If you are searching for the route number on the map (14) it is at the bottom above the "k" of "Glenbrook".



Assuming that Magdala Gully and Springwood Gully are one and the same, the latter part of this account of a walk by the Mt Wilson Mt Irvine Bushwalking Group will tell you quite a bit about the place. here.
