This smaller county map by Morden was probably drawn before about 1693, intended
for Camden's Britannia; it was rejected in favour of larger maps but issued by
Morden 1701; this copy is the version improved by Herman Moll about 1708 after
Morden's death, in particular adding the compass rose and adding to the roads.
