Old maps of Essex

Longitude shown from Greenwich, the first map to do so.

Major roads - meaning Turnpikes - are coloured.

Smith issued a reduced size version in 1822.

Scale correct at 1+10 miles = 95mm, or 3.0 miles/inch, ie 1:188,000.

The maps were first published Smith's New English Atlas in 1804 despite the maps being dated 1801, and without the 'Jones & Smith sculp. Pentonville.' under the compass rose. The map was then re-dated 1804 and the 'Jones & Smith sculp. Pentonville.' added under compass rose at some point, and then "corrected to 1808" added for the 2^nd edition of the Atlas. Further editions were published in 1816, 1821, 1827, 1832, 1834 and 1846, and possibly others. From the 1832 edition the 'Jones & Smith sculp. Pentonville.' was removed from under compass rose.
