Greenwood's County Maps of Cumberland and Westmorland, surveyed 1821-3

These are folding maps at a scale of 1 inch to 1 mile, first published in 1823-4. The second edition available here was published in 1844 using the original survey but with routes and names of railways added to the engraving to that date, and with later railways to 1847 added by the colourist. An article from Journal 54 on these maps by Derek Denman can be read here.

In the second edition Cumberland was covered by four folding maps, North West, North East, South West and South East each of which contained 24 paper sections glued to a linen backing. Westmorland was covered by two maps, North and South, each of which contained 20 paper sections.

This website allows the 136 sections of the two maps to be individually viewed or downloaded in .jpg format at the original size.
