DescriptionRough geological colouring and notes by William Buckland, [1813-1820], on base map 'The County of Dorset surveyed by Isaac Taylor, reduced from the large map in six sheets...', published by William Faden, 1 July 1796. The key to the colours is in the hand of George Bellas Greenough. On the canvas backing is a short list of names and addresses of local contacts. Dissected on cloth, 2 miles to 1 inch. Box marked 'Dr Buckland's field map'.
Administrative HistoryThe writing by George Bellas Greenough probably indicates that the compilation of this map is connected to the research for George Bellas Greenough's 'Geological Map of England & Wales' (1820). Greenough accompanied Buckland on a four day trip along the south coast of England starting from Lyme Regis eastwards in May 1813.
