1 : 31680 This plan covers part of the English Midland plateau. The Staffordshire and Worcestershire Canal is depicted down the left side. Opened for traffic in May 1772, the canal was built by engineer James Brindley as part of his 'Grand Cross', a far-sighted scheme to link the ports of Hull, Liverpool and Bristol by connecting the rivers Mersey, Trent and Severn. Work on a second waterway, the Birmingham Canal, started a year later to facilitate the transport of coal from the pits of the Black Country to Birmingham. The Industrial Revolution saw over 180 miles of canals and 216 locks built. Part of this network is visible on the plan highlighted in blue. Dawson, Robert

Chartley Park

1 : 31680 A triangulation diagram appears on the reverse of this drawing. This enabled the draughtsman to plot the exact location of topographical features. The drawing lacks any indication of relief, suggesting that it is a 'rough' copy. Stevens, Henry

Part of Staffordshire Containing 100 Square Miles Surveyed by Mr Field and Drawn by Mr Stevens 1817

1 : 31680 .This plan of part of Staffordshire shows the Trent and Sow River valleys. The red lines to the right of the,drawing,probably indicate stone walls,,prominent features of the Staffordshire landscape. Stevens, Henry

Ashbourne

1 : 31680 The absence of hill sketching on this drawing suggests it is an incomplete or 'rough' copy. A triangulation diagram appears on the reverse. This enabled the draughtsman to plot prominent features of the landscape. Major lines of communication are coloured yellow, following standard military cartographic convention. Notes in the margins of the drawing record the date it was received at the "Ord[nance] Map Office" and that it has been reduced and drawn for the engravers. Drawings were reduced to a scale of one inch to the mile for the final engraved sheets.

Cheadle

1 : 31680 A triangulation diagram appears on the reverse of this drawing. This enabled the draughtsman to plot topographical features of the landscape. There is no hill sketching on this drawing, suggesting that it is a rough copy. Major lines of communication are coloured yellow, following standard military cartographic procedure. Stevens, Henry

Penkridge

1 : 31680 This plan covers part of Staffordshire, with Cannock Chase depicted at top right. Framed by the more formal landscapes of Haywood Park, Oakedge Park and Wolseley Park, this large area of heathland was once a great medieval hunting forest favoured by royalty. Triangles are clearly visible outside the plan, and trigonometrical calculations are noted in a table at bottom right. Dawson, Robert

Lichfield

1 : 31680 This plan covers part of East Staffordshire and its neighbouring counties. County borders are highlighted by coloured pecked lines. The large heath of Cannock Chase, once an expansive sweep of a great medieval royal hunting forest, is depicted at lower left. A section of the Ryknild Street is shown in buff down the middle of the sheet. This Roman road ran from the Fosse Way in Gloucestershire to Little Chester (Derby). Triangles used by Dawson to plot the survey are clearly visible outside the plan, with triangulations reported in a table at bottom right. Dawson, Robert

Sudbury Park

1 : 31680 The county boundary of Derbyshire and Staffordshire is indicated by a red pecked line. The boundary closely follows the River Dove. In the margins of the drawing several dots annotated with place names indicate observation stations. This is where the surveyor stood to take triangulation measurements. No indications of relief are given, suggesting that this is an outline plan, the midpoint between the original protraction and the finished drawing. The road network is precisely delineated. Major communication routes are coloured yellow, following military cartographic convention. Stevens, Henry
