The map, first published 1833, is probably from the
Travelling County Atlas or the New County Atlas by Sidney
Hall, as engraved uptodate for the 1840s but with manuscript
additions, coloured railways to the 1860s. Notice that the
canal from Carlisle to Bowness is still shown, not yet
altered to a railway.
