A map of London and the adjacent Country 10 Miles Round, as Survey'd and Published in 16 Sheets by John Rocque Land Surveyor, reduc'd into one Sheet
John Rocque, a Huguenot surveyor and mapmaker, produced the finest and most accurate maps of London in the mid 18th century. This map of 1748 shows the rural nature of the countryside surrounding the capital, with a patchwork of villages and hamlets. Of particular note are the courses of the three main tributaries of the Thames – the Lea, Ravensbourne and Wandle rivers.
