Ancient Britain (Historical Map and Guide): 6

Product Information

An index to all sites is provided, with each monument named, given an National Grid reference number, and the relevant 1:50 000 scale Landranger sheet number so that sites may be exactly pinpointed. Sites can be pinpointed exactly using the grid reference number and the relevant 1:50 000 scale sheet number. This depth of stretcher bar provides a more modern look and is not as easily framed at a later date. The primary reason I bought this map for is to quickly look up grid references through out the whole of the U. The base map has altitude colouring to indicate the topography and shows the present day road network.
