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. |
