About this map
This artwork is cropped from Sheet 3 · The Lake District, 1903, focusing the original cartography around Helvellyn rather than reproducing the complete historic sheet.
Bartholomew developed the Half-Inch series for people who needed to understand a region at a glance, with transport routes and physical geography given particular emphasis. 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.
Road information and coloured relief were deliberately prominent, giving these maps a clearer travelling-map character than denser large-scale survey sheets. Bartholomew drew on more detailed Ordnance Survey material, selecting and supplementing information for its own cartographic purpose; complete Half-Inch coverage of Great Britain was achieved in 1903. This particular source was published in 1903.
