This sketch map by Charles Joseph La Trobe marks in pink his own estate known as Jolimont. Directly south, on the river, is the site of the Mounted Police.  Further to the east, on the other side of the bend now straightened, is the site of the Native Police.  Further to the east again, and on the south side of the river is the Aboriginal Mission Station.  Other points of interest are Batman's Hill and the old Burial Ground.
