About this map
This artwork is cropped from Sheet 27 · Swansea, 1904, focusing the original cartography around Swansea 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. Its 1:126,720 scale, two miles to the inch, sits between detailed local survey mapping and much smaller national maps.
The series is especially recognisable for its layer colouring, with greens across lower ground and browns and paler tones used as elevation rises. Complete coverage of Great Britain was achieved by 1903, and the series became closely associated with touring and cycling in the early twentieth century. This particular source was published in 1904.
