1938 map with handwritten additions in the eastern Pilbara. Copied

Donald Thomson's map in the 1958 Australian Encyclopaedia
(reproduced on page 2 of the 2005 Macquarie Atlas of Indigenous Australia)
corresponds in large measure to Davidson's 1938 map and does not cite
it; Thomson's
map has the unique 'Mungya' near Lake Gregory (north-east WA) where
Davidson's map has Munga (of RH Mathews 1900:4981)
superposed on a Y-shaped creek
