This is our sixth title in a short series of maps of
the Ruhrgebiet. It is taken from the British War Office 1:12,500 plans and reduced to approx 1:19,000. Published in 1945,
prior to the Allied occupation of the area, the maps are especially good at showing industry, collieries and transport.
The maps are neatly folded and each includes a specially written introduction to the area. Click on the thumbnail right
