Historical Maps
Individually selectable Historical Maps - Scale 1:2,500 and 1:10,000
Country Series Historical Maps supplied as a 1km² PDF or GIF from the site centre.
County Series maps are the earliest maps produced by the Ordnance Survey and each one covers an individual county, yet does not provide coverage for adjoining counties.
Some maps may appear unfinished, with all military camps and other strategic sites removed.
