A historic-map wooden coaster of Saundersfoot, using Bartholomew's distinctive Half-Inch mapping.

What this map covers

The mapped area around Saundersfoot includes part of Pembrokeshire Coast National Park, together with River Ritec. It also takes in Tenby, Pentlepoir and Begelly.

About this map

This artwork is cropped from Sheet 21 · Pembroke, 1903, focusing the original cartography around Saundersfoot rather than reproducing the complete historic sheet.

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. 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.

Bartholomew's coloured treatment of relief gives the maps much of their visual identity, making the shape of uplands and lowlands readable before individual labels are examined. 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.

Historic map detail varies with product size and material. Use the listing close-ups as your guide to the exact crop and level of detail.
