John Ogilby's Britannia atlas of 1675 set the standard for the road maps that followed. One hundred strip road maps are shown, accompanied by a double-sided page of text giving additional advice for the map's use, all at a consistent scale of one inch to the mile (1/63360).

See John Ogilby for a full list of plates.
