What this map covers

The mapped area around York extends across Kimberlow Hill.

About this map

This artwork is cropped from Sheet 7 · York & Scarborough, 1903, focusing the original cartography around York rather than reproducing the complete historic sheet.

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 developed the Half-Inch series for people who needed to understand a region at a glance, with transport routes and physical geography given particular emphasis.

The maps were not simple reductions of Ordnance Survey sheets: Bartholomew selected and added information, including route categories useful to travellers. The interest is often in the regional pattern: how a town relates to neighbouring places, transport routes, water, and higher ground. This particular source was published in 1903.
