This is the first really detailed
map to be produced showing the Malhamdale area and is a beautiful example
of the engraver's art. Produced at the scale of 1 inch to 1 mile, it
was engraved on 20 copper plates, making up a map 8 feet wide by 10
feet high. Thomas Jefferys was a well known and influential London engraver
and map publisher, though it is thought possible that Jefferys never
set foot in Yorkshire, as the map was surveyed by Joseph Hodskinson,
Thomas Donald and John Ainslie and published in the year Jefferys died.

The map reproduced here uses smaller file sizes
then the original CD, reducing the definition. You can purchase
the complete, high definition version of Jeffreys map of Yorkshire
for £15 +P&P from Digital
