About this map
This artwork is cropped from Sheet 22 · Carmarthen, 1903, focusing the original cartography around New Quay rather than reproducing the complete historic sheet.
Its 1:126,720 scale, two miles to the inch, sits between detailed local survey mapping and much smaller national maps. Look for the relationship between settlements and routes, and for the way the relief colours turn the surrounding terrain into part of the map's story.
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.
