Maps of central Saffron Walden area – 1:500 and 1:2,500

Listed below are the large scale maps that cover Saffron Walden itself; large scale maps covering elsewhere in the district are on the Uttlesford page.

All the maps listed in the table below are at 1:500, or one inch represents c.42 feet (one centimetre represents 5 metres), an incredibly large scale. They are all contained in the folder labelled “Maps of the Saffron Walden area, 18th & 19th Cent – 1”, which is on the floor, to the right of the Reading Room window. (Note: (a) is an unofficial way of saying sheet western half only; (b) is eastern half only.)
