From the title page description:
In 1996 Francis Bennett and Kit Batten published their first book about the maps of Devon and listed all known maps printed between 1575 and 1837 showing the county of Devon on either one or two sheets. Although this omitted Ordnance Survey sheets and atlases designed on a sheet basis, this meant that the authors were still able to list 117 different maps along with their source and provide information on the people behind them.Visit Printed Maps of Devon.
This site is the internet version of the revised Second Edition of The Printed Maps of Devon.
Since the original work was published (now out of print) more maps have come to light and new information discovered so that the present work includes a total of 120 maps incorporating over 300 states (i.e. including variations) and referenced nearly 1200 sources of atlases and maps. These are all included here in this site.
...
It is planned to add further sites in the future: The Victorian Maps of Devon and The Printed Maps of Exeter. So watch this space!
