Old Ordnance Survey Maps of North Yorkshire

  • North Yorkshire is a wide ranging county and many of its towns are relatively small, but we have published maps for most of them. Also here are two maps for the City of York, effectively a county in its own right. Here are the details.

    All maps are available from our On-line Mapshop or from selected bookshops in the area.

    The following maps are all taken from the OS 25" maps and reduced to a scale of approximately 15 inches to the mile. They are extremely detailed, showing individual houses, details such as railway tracks, pathways, pubs, factories and even minutiae such as fountains and signal posts. Obviously they cover quite a small area, normally a mile by a mile and a half each. Each map includes an introduction. For further details click on the links below.
