The map covers the area from Summerfield Terrace eastward to Gallows Wood & Huntsman Farm, & from Earl Street & Holy Trinity church northward to Medway Paper Mill & Thornhills. The County Gaol is a major feature by default, for it is left blank for security reasons. Depicted features include Perseverance Foundry, Sittingbourne Road, Union Street, Brewer Street, St Faith`s Street, Sandling Road, a stretch of the Medway, Perry Fields, numerous quarries & brickfields, Cavalry Barracks, Springfield Mills, Heathfield House. A stretch of the North Kent Railway is shown, but the Sevenoaks & Maidstone Railway is `under construction`. On the reverse is a commercial directory A to K (continued on the Maidstone South map).
