Regions covered by various editions of the map

This small page attempts to diagram the various regions covered by Cruchley maps I have seen.

This page is a sub-page off of my pages about Cruchley's maps. Even if this page is of limited interest, I hope you will visit the main pages.

There is at least one map (m14a13c) which covers more or less all of what is in the diagram below. (These diagrams are not accurate to the millimeter... they are only intended as rough guides.)

Besides the big map, the diagram is trying to show you three other formats I have encountered. You may want to look at the second diagram, if you can't see all of them.



The second diagram, below, is another attempt to show you the four Cruchley "region" choices of which I am aware.

The "P" shows you where St.Paul's Cathedral is.

The black grid lines in the first diagram show where the panel edges are in many... but not all... editions of the map.

Where the panel edges fall sometimes changes very slightly (as little as 2mm, but there) from map to map. I'm not sure if that is due to differences in the plates the panels were printed from, consistent across an edition, or merely a minor variation from map to map between the different copies of the maps, regardless of edition. And in other cases, (I think) the panel are a significantly different size. And in some cases, the panels are used in "landscape" orientation, not "portrait", as shown by the grid of black lines in the first diagram.

The codes for the map type, the ones along the lines of, say, "09Vx3/4p2,11x16s122" do tell you, admittedly cryptically, and in some parts indirectly, almost everything you could want to know about the extent of a map's covereage and panel usage. While the code is cryptic, it has the merit of being concise.

The map covering the region depicted by "A" is the most extensive Cruchley I have seen, by the way. It was said to date from 1843.
