What this map covers

The geographic coverage follows the exact product crop of Derwentwater shown in the listing imagery.

About this map

This artwork is cropped from Sheet 3 · The Lake District, 1903, focusing the original cartography around Derwentwater rather than reproducing the complete historic sheet.

Two miles are represented by one inch on the map, giving enough reach for a journey or region while keeping individual towns and routes legible. The interest is often in the regional pattern: how a town relates to neighbouring places, transport routes, water, and higher ground.

The maps were not simple reductions of Ordnance Survey sheets: Bartholomew selected and added information, including route categories useful to travellers. The series is especially recognisable for its layer colouring, with greens across lower ground and browns and paler tones used as elevation rises. This particular source was published in 1903.
