I'm assuming the NASA one is correct, and that means the Peninsula Developmental Road will actually be right on the path limits, not the centre!
Hopefully no one is using that as a guide.
The Peninsular Development road used to start at Mount Molloy.
About two years ago the road from Mareeba to Cooktown was named the Mulligan Highway. So the Peninsular Development road now starts at Lakeland.
So the maps are identical. The roads are just labelled with a different name. I will make sure the TRC gets an updated version of the map.
