What this map covers
This map of Mevagissey includes St Austell River and part of the wider landscape of Cornwall National Landscape. It also takes in Portmellon, Pentewan and Gorran Churchtown.
About this map
This artwork is cropped from Sheet 37 · Cornwall, 1903, focusing the original cartography around Mevagissey 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.
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. Road information and coloured relief were deliberately prominent, giving these maps a clearer travelling-map character than denser large-scale survey sheets. This particular source was published in 1903.
