DescriptionGeological colouring, with extensive notes and key by George Bellas Greenough. [1824-1843], on base map 'A New Map of Westmorland divided into wards', published by John Cary, 1811. A version of Cary's map formed the base of William Smith's county map of the region, hence Greenough's comments that the '...map has been corrected after Smith's published in 1824 but is now too confused and ?indistinct to be of any use - the strata has been laid in correctly in my geol. map of England and revised by [Adam] Sedgwick.'. Greenough cites a number of other sources, including Jonathan Otley and Daniel Sharpe. Greenough no.294. Scale-1:200,000. Dissected on cloth.
