Hydrographic/topographic map entitled "Port Essington to Cape Stewart" (more completely: "Australia-North Coast [/] Port Essington to Cape Stewart [/] From British surveys between 1839 and 1939 [Portions in hairline and soundings in slanting figures from earlier surveys ]"). It was published by the Defense Mapping Agency Hydrographic/Topographic Center of Washington, D.C. This is the 3rd edition, dated August 25, 1984, and numbered 74380. Much of the map shows water, with depths indicated by numeric labels. The remainder shows part of the northern coast of Australia, with the Coburg Peninsula and Croker Island visible near the left edge. There are two notes outlined in purple with the heading "Caution"; one states a reported discrepancy between the actual location of "Greenhill I.[sland?] and adjacent coast" and their charted points; the other reads "As these shores are only partially examined, mariners are cautioned not to place too much reliance on this chart."
