Most maps cover about one mile (1.6kms) north/south, one & a half miles (2.4kms) across; adjoining sheets can be combined to provide wider coverage.FOR MORE INFORMATION & A COMPLETE LIST OF ALL AVAILABLE TITLES PLEASE CLICK ON THE SERIES LINK. ...

Greenford in 1894 in a fascinating series of reproductions of old Ordnance Survey plans in the Alan Godfrey Editions, ideal for anyone interested in the history of their neighbourhood or family. Two versions for this area have been published to show how it developed across the years. Coverage extends from Holy Cross church southward to Beechmount Avenue, & from Westbury Avenue eastward to Greatdown Road. In 1894 this was still a rural village but by 1939 it was largely built up apart from Perivale Park & Ravenor Park.

These three parishes remained in rural seclusion until the industrial & suburban developments of the 20th century. The text illustrates how, despite the links between them, the areas each assumed a different character. We see how the coming of the Grand Junction Canal intensified brick-making. In later years the parishes became well known for large manufacturing companies, such as Hoover, Glaxo, Aladdin & IBM. ...

Greenland at 1:3, 000, 000 on a map from ITMB with physical colouring of its coastal areas & on the reverse the North Circumpolar Region at 1:9, 000, 000, centered on the North Pole, on a political map showing the countries around the Arctic Ocean. The map of Greenland has elevation colouring for the coastal areas, with spot heights also shown in the interior. Main settlements are marked & the map shows local airfields & heliports, as well as ferry connections along the south-western coastline. The map is indexed & has latitude & longitude lines at intervals of 3° & 6° respectively. Also included are notes on various aspects of Greenland’s history, geography, climate, places of interest, etc. On the reverse is a political map of the Arctic Sea & the North Circumpolar Region from Natural Resources Canada, the country’s topographic survey organization. The map covers an area north of 55º of latitude, with countries presented in different colours against the surrounding seas which have bathymetric colouring. Relief shading shows the terrain on land & the sea bed, where ridges & basin are named. Glaciated areas are indicated & the map shows both the limit of permanent polar sea ice (from 1972 to 2007) & the tree line on l&. Latitude lines are drawn at intervals of 5º, with longitude at 10º. ...

Coastal areas of Greenland at 1:100, 000 or 1:75, 000 in a series of GPS compatible contoured topographic maps from Greenland Tourism, indicating both recommended hiking trails & snowmobile routes, plus camping places, youth hostels, etc. Contours lines are at 25m intervals & additional altitude colouring. The maps provide a very detailed picture of the terrain, showing topographic features such as rivers & streams with fords, sand or gravel shoreline, marshes, boulder fields, etc. Recommended hiking trail are marked, as well as snowmobile routes. The maps show local settlements & connecting roads & tracks. Symbols indicate locations of heliports, general stores, medical facilities, youth hostels or huts, camping terrain, viewpoints, etc.A grid gives UTM co-ordinates plus latitude in steps of 5` & longitude in 10`. The maps are printed on waterproof & tear-resistant paper. Map legend

This double-sided geophysical & glaciological map shows the basal topography of Greenland & surrounding seabed. The topography of the subglacial landscape under the Greenland Icesheet was modelled using a mixture of radio echo-sounding & a glaciological model (BEDMACHINE 2) & is presented in a similar colour scheme to the Antarctic BEDMAP2. The map is a result of a collaboration between BAS & Bristol University, based on recently released data from a joint project between Bristol University & the University of Irvine California.
- Side 1 shows a detailed map, in plan view, &

Includes:: important names, coastline & the zero metre contour.
- Side 2 presents a 3D view of the dataset, highlighting some of the important & interesting features & gives further details of how the surface was constructed.
