Scope and Contents note

From the Sub-Series:

46 color maps, on sheets 100 x 133 cm or smaller, folded to 26 x 12 cm or smaller. Most maps based on earlier work by the British Ordnance Survey. Much less detailed than Michelin's multiple series of large scale regional maps of the British Isles, these small scale maps primarily feature main highways and major roads. All maps cover England, Wales, and Scotland on Great Britain; most maps cover at least part of Ireland. Includes multiple editions of most sheets. Scales vary between 1:887,040-1:1,500,000. Sheet numbers include 30, 101, 130, 713, 930, and 986. Includes unnumbered Michelin map of England & Wales (1922?), with an index grid for sheets 4-22, filed in Series 2, Europe, subseries 10, regional maps of British Isles: Great Britain, sheets 1-22, scale 1:200,000. Sheet 130 includes an index grid for sheets 2-15; these sheets are separately filed in Series 2, Europe, subseries 11, regional maps of British Isles, Great Britain, sheets 2-15, 1923-1932, scale 1:200,000. See also Series 1, France, subseries 9, client and thematic maps, for variant or derivative issues of sheet 986, published in four editions in the 1980s by Michelin for the Hertz automobile rental company.
