Geography
The Leichhard River flows north–south through the town of Mount Isa, dividing the suburbs of the town into "mineside" (west of the Leichhardt River) and "townside" (east of the Leichhardt River).[3][4] Miles End is a "mineside" suburb.[5]
The suburb is bounded to the east in parts by the Leichhardt River, to the south by Isa Street and Station Street, to the west by Hooper Road (and the mine itself), and to the north by Carbonate Street and Alma Street.[6] Despite the townside/mineside division of the suburbs, there is one exception. A small area along the riverside of West Street that contains the Mount Isa City Council's Civic Centre is not part of the townside suburb of Mount Isa City but part of the mineside suburb of Miles End that extends across the river.[6]
History
Miles End was named on 1 September 1973 by the Queensland Place Names Board. 16 March 2001 its status was changed from a locality to a suburb.[2]
