About this map
This artwork is cropped from Sheet 23 · Hereford, 1902, focusing the original cartography around Gloucester rather than reproducing the complete historic sheet.
The interest is often in the regional pattern: how a town relates to neighbouring places, transport routes, water, and higher ground. At half an inch to the mile (1:126,720), it covers much more ground than the detailed Ordnance Survey county sheets while retaining a strong sense of local geography.
Road information and coloured relief were deliberately prominent, giving these maps a clearer travelling-map character than denser large-scale survey sheets. The maps were not simple reductions of Ordnance Survey sheets: Bartholomew selected and added information, including route categories useful to travellers. This particular source was published in 1902.
