Printed upper left:-
MAP OF THE COUNTIES OF CUMBERLAND & WESTMORELAND INCLUDING
THE WHOLE OF THE Lake District GEOLOGICALLY COLOURED. By
William Whellan & Co. 1858.
Printed bottom, left, right, and centre:-
DRAWN & ENGRAVED BY W. BANKS. EDINR. Entered at Stationer's
Hall PUBLISHED WITH W. WHELLAN & CO.'S HISTORY AND
TOPOGRAPHY OF CUMBERLAND & WESTMORELAND.
The book's geological notes are written by J G Cumming;
perhaps he planned the geological colouring.
The base map appears to be the same as one of the maps of
The Lakes published by John Garnett, Windermere,
Westmorland, 1850s-60s (for example, the map in a private
collection JandMN (82_1)). Many features will not be
described here: they are hidden under the geological
colouring, and better described for a Garnett map.

Printed lower left is a:-
Scale of Miles
marked and labelled in miles. The 5 miles = 36.8 mm gives
a scale 1 to 218661. (This is very close to the scale line
on JandMN (82_1)). The map scale is about:-
1 to 220000
3.5 miles to 1 inch

lat and long scales

Printed in the map borders are scales of latitude and
longitude for a ?trapezoidal projection; marked in minutes,
labelled in 10s. The bottom scale is labelled:-
Longitude West from Greenwich
The map includes from 2d 15m to 3d 38m W, from 54d 2m to
55d 11m North; by extending a little beyond the map borders
the map includes the whole of Westmorland and Cumberland,
and Lancashire north of the sands. (This is a slightly
greater area than JandMN (82_1)).

table of symbols

The map is geologically coloured. Geological areas are
bounded by fine dotted lines, and tinted; the tints
explained in a stratigraphical column printed lower
left.
An additional table of symbols printed upper left
explains:-
[ -|-| line] Axis of the first General Elevation of the Lake
District.
[ === line] Axis of the second General Elevation of the Lake
District.
[ -.-. line] Lines of Fault diverging from the Axis of
Elevation.
Two great geological features are labelled:-
LINE OF THE GREAT PENNINE FAULT
LINE OF THE CRAVEN FAULT
