Old Ordnance Survey Maps of Cumberland

  • We have a range of detailed maps for Cumberland towns and we also cover the whole county at the Inch to the Mile scale. Here are the details.
  • All maps are available from our On-line Mapshop.

  • Cumberland County Council governed from 1889-1974. Since 1974 the county has been part of Cumbria. See This page for a summary of its local government history.

    • 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. Each map includes an introduction.
