The maps are highly detailed. They are taken from the OS 1:2,500 (or 25 inch) maps and reduced to about 15 inches to the mile. Each covers an area of a mile and a half by a mile. They show streets with individual houses, tram tracks, railway tracks and even signals, factories, wharves and such details as fountains and water troughs. They will provide hours of fascination for historians and genealogists. The maps are neatly folded and each includes a specially written introduction to the area.

This detailed map of the Eastney and Milton area of Portsmouth is double-sided for maximum coverage.

The main map covers the area from Owen Street, Eastney, eastward to the Langstone Channel, and from Milton Farm southward to the coast. Features include Eastney Barracks, St Andrew's church, Coastguard Station, West Winner, rifle ranges, Port Royal Cottage, Highland Ward, St James church Milton, etc.

The reverse includes a portion of adjacent sheet 84.05 extending coverage northward to include Lunatic Asylum, Warren Lane area, Baffins, Great Salterns.
