This extract is from the undated composite map, and is taken from an Ordnance Survey Quarter Inch map (1:253,440). On a modern map the M1 would run down the left hand side of the area shown, and the A14 would run East-West across the map just North of Naseby. In each case the extract covers the area from Rugby to Desborough (E-W) and from Kilby to Kilsby (N-S). Two maps centred on the Northamptonshire village of Husbands Bosworth are shown below. If you would like to know more about the map, please follow the link to the National Library of Scotland.
To pan the map, click the image once, and drag the map by holding down the left mouse button. The maximum zoom level is 1 inch to the mile (1:63,360). To zoom in/out easily, you can use scroll your mouse wheel forward/backward. Please note that these are not oil company maps, but contain rather greater detail than was used on the inexpensive issues made available by petrol companies. The map can be zoomed in and panned in the same manner as for current maps on Google Maps, but the imagery dates from old, mainly pre-war Ordnance Survey maps. This page shows a composite map of Britain, drawn from out of copyright Ordnance Survey maps dating from 1919-1947 in the National Library of Scotland, to whom thanks are due for the ability to include it on the Petrolmaps website.
