Introduction - Description - Abbreviations - Maps - North Lincolnshire - South Lincolnshire - Home page
The maps of Lincolnshire have been split in two, as a Northern half and a Southern half. The split is arbitrary, not as administrative areas. Lincoln, Horncastle and Spilsby appear at the bottom of the Northern map and the top of the Southern map. The map described on this page is of the whole of Lincolnshire, with six towns shown.
Graphics linked from the maps section of this page produce a large print map of Lincolshire in 1835, a tactile map with braille lettering, and a key to the tactile map. This page explains and describes the maps. The Description section says what is on the map. The Abbreviations section gives locations within the county; names are given in full on this map. The Maps section has links to the maps, which are in pdf (Acrobat) format, and to a page describing the way to produce a tactile map with braille letters from the pdf file. On another page is a general introduction to this series of maps of the English counties which are intended to be accessible to blind and partially sighted people. The Genuki pages for Lincolnshire have more information about the county, its records, and all its towns and parishes.
There is a solid circle at the top left of the map. The title follows it at the top of the map, which is the North.The county boundary is shown by a dotted line. There is also a curved dotted line acros the map: this splits the parliamentary northern and southern divisions of the county in 1835.The Chapman County Code LIN is in large letters in the top right corner of the map. Towns are large dots, with the town name nearby. A ten mile scale bar is in the bottom left corner. Lincolnshire is on the east coast, about 60 miles east to west by about 80 miles north to south. Directions on map - West is left, East is right, North is up, South is down.
On this summary map of Lincolnshire six town names are shown in full.
There are oval areas in the top and bottom of the map with the words "See N Lincs" and "See S Lincs". More towns are shown, with names abbreviated to two letters, on the North Lincolnshire and South Lincolnshire maps.
