Maps of the Wirksworth Area

This section has links to all the maps that I have in this website. Maps are difficult because they use a lot of memory space if they contain a lot of detail. So what you see here has to be a compromise between megabytes and detail. Personally I find that old maps are interesting but rarely contain much important information. A modern Ordnance Survey paper map is indispensible. Also a modern road atlas which has a big index in the back, letting you locate those odd village names in the PR or Census. The road atlas I use is Phillips Navigator Road Atlas, at 1.5 miles to the inch, containing 40,000 placenames in the Index, each with county name and coordinates on the map.
