Ordnance Survey, One-inch to the mile, 3rd Edition (Coloured), 1902 - 1923

This attractively-coloured series was based on the Ordnance Survey's one-inch to the mile 3rd edition maps, with topographic detail based on a revision of 1901-1910. It reflected the earliest attempt to produce a one-inch to the mile map with coloured topographic detail: water in blue, woodland in green, the first and second class roads in burnt sienna, hachures in brown, and contours in red. These maps were intended for practical recreational purposes, and they were issued in a convenient folded form with covers. The engraved copper plate of the outline edition formed the base content, but with coloured zinc plates used for lithographically printing the additional colours. The roads, which had not been very clear on the original engraved maps became much more prominent, even if some of the text for names was difficult to read in hillier areas. We have scanned all our sheets of this series, including the various reprints with updated detail and railways, etc. noting these in the table listing below.

For further information, see Roger Hellyer and Richard Oliver, A Guide to the Ordnance Survey One-inch Third Edition Maps in Colour (London: Charles Close society, 2004).
