Description

This volume of essays considers the practical and political purposes for which maps were used, the symbolic and ideological roles of maps in the history of South-West England and the ways in which map evidence can be used to recover facts about the past. A range of maps is examined: early county maps; manorial and estate plans; maps produced in conjunction with enclosure awards and tithe surveys; and Ordnance Survey maps. The purpose for which each type of map was created is given its national context.
