The Historical Atlas contains digital versions of the maps listed below.



We plan to add more maps in the future. Click on each map heading, below, to see more information about it.

Click on the "I" next to the heading of a collection in the left hand panel to see the index map for the series.
Then select the map you are interested in from the drop down box.

Alongside each map is a download button so you can download a PDF version of the map. This PDF version can then be zoomed and panned so you can see the map sheet in detail. You can print the view on your screen by adjusting your print range settings to 'print current view'.

The downloadable PDF files require Adobe Reader to be seen correctly. If you do not have Adobe Reader you can download it for free from www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep2.html
