About this map
This artwork is cropped from Sheet 3 · The Lake District, 1903, focusing the original cartography around Wastwater rather than reproducing the complete historic sheet.
The interest is often in the regional pattern: how a town relates to neighbouring places, transport routes, water, and higher ground. Its 1:126,720 scale, two miles to the inch, sits between detailed local survey mapping and much smaller national maps.
Road information and coloured relief were deliberately prominent, giving these maps a clearer travelling-map character than denser large-scale survey sheets. The maps were not simple reductions of Ordnance Survey sheets: Bartholomew selected and added information, including route categories useful to travellers. This particular source was published in 1903.
