Map of Group Settlement

Map

Each red shape on this map of the South West carries a number which identifies each Group Settlement block. Migrants arriving to be part of the Group Settlement Scheme were allocated to a particular block. Some were luckier than others. The quality of the land was inconsistent, and some areas should never have been allocated for farming. The history of the Group Settlement Scheme in Pemberton, which began in 1923, contributes to a story of hardship told in many of the historical collections in the South West.
