NB1. The sub-headings provide the place of publication, the name of the surveyor, the area, and the year of publication.

A note about illustrations of maps: The illustrations are provided as a guide only - magnification is not always practicable with early maps that are often faded or smudgy. Some of the images have been copied from small photographs of large maps. However, in some examples enlargement in sections has been possible and a note in the caption indicates this.

(Continued from Chapter 2.)
