Bacon's County Map and Guide of Essex

Folding map with booklet, aimed at cyclists, with much text on Essex (political, physical, geological, industrial, antiquities and places of interest) and principal towns, plus 1901 populations.

Dismounted woman consulting map by a milestone whilst car passes. Red/orange coloured "Essex", woman's blouse and car. Main roads in brown, and county edge-coloured in brown.

More details on Bacon's maps are on the Publisher's page.

Scale correct at 10 miles = 94mm, or 2.7 miles/inch, ie 1:170,000.

The reference table now only has 5 symbols - Parliamentary Divisions and Boroughs, and Railways Constructing and Mineral, have been deleted. The warning about dangerous hills have also been removed - from the Explanation and on the map.

The railway lines include the Thaxted branch (opened 1913) but also with projected extensions that were never built.
