Jefferys' map of Yorkshire (ref. C559/82) was published in 1775 at a scale of 1 inch : 1 mile. It was originally surveyed from 1767-1770, 69 and a half miles to 1 degree (approx). It was published in a book of 42 leaves by act of parliament 25 Mar 1772.
The large scale enables a good level of detail to be recorded.
