These maps normally cover an area of about 18 miles by 12 miles and are especially good at showing railways, roads and canals, and at giving a broad view of a wider area. Each includes an introduction and a more detailed map of a small town or village.

This One Inch Ordnance Survey map covers a rural part of central Cumberland, stretching from Cockermouth and Bassenthwaite Lake eastward to Mungrisdale, northward to Wigton. Some of the northern fells - Great Calva, Bowseale Fell, Carrock Fell - are near the foot of the map. The reverse includes a detailed map of Aspatria, including Newtown.

It is not possible to list the many hamlets, farmsteads and other topographical features shown on these maps. However, you may find it useful if we list the towns and principal villages or church parishes that are included on this map.
