Today the We're Here group are visiting What Are You Reading. I've always got at least two books on the go and one audio book but Rachel Hewitt's book made the cut. It is a fascinating history of the Ordnance Survey. The OS is, for those not familiar with cartography in the UK, responsible for producing the most fantastically accurate maps of the nation. Long before satellite navigation became the norm anyone armed with an OS map and a compass could quickly identify whereabouts they were to within a few feet.
Bill Bryson once remarked on how wonderful his British map was because as he sat looking at it the he could see clearly marked the public telephone next to which he was sat, the pub over the road and the post office next door. Churches with spires were distinguished from those with towers, and similarly are deciduous and coniferous trees.
I have always loved maps. I can while away many happy hours poring over them and as a child had facsimiles of antique maps framed on my bedroom wall. You can therefore readily imagine my excitement when I received this book for my birthday.
The task of accurately mapping an entire country with telescopes and chains in an age when most roads were little more than quagmires and often non existent was a truly daunting one and the story of the men who carried out the first proper survey is fascinating.
We love maps don't we guy's.
Mind you my kids would just look on their phone.
This is my favourite picture of the day.
Another great map by Kroll, with named piers, all city bus lines, park features, and anything else you might ask for.
See another Kroll map, from 1942.

The third and final map reveals the two primary infrastructural innovations which propelled Imperial Rome to the status of Caput Mundi. These are the city's vast road network, as well as its eleven aqueducts. While the roads ensured the steady flow of physical goods, the aqueducts provided for an abundance of flowing water imported from the surrounding Latium region. In later imperial days, several emperors sought to outdo one another with the constructions of increasingly more baths, or thermae. These baths complexes were the centers of daily life for countless Roman citizens of every social class.
