Synopsis
This book gives a general introduction to the many different maps published by the Ordnance Survey of Great Britain in the last 200 years or so, concentrating on the one-inch and smaller scales.
Described as a field guide, the book tells the fascinating story of how the Ordnance Survey map developed through the years and allows readers to identify and put into context any sheets that they come across. Colour has been used liberally to illustrate both the maps and their covers. There is a complete set of index diagrams for each series, pointers to where more detailed information can be found and enough about the history and processes of the Ordnance Survey to understand why the maps looked as they did. Finally, there are chapters on 'mapmakers at war' and on collecting Ordnance Survey maps.
