What do the coloured rectangles on the map mean?
The pink rectangle overlaid on top of the map shows an area 1km by 708 metres. This is the geographical area printed on a Decorative Map derived from the large scale (1:2500 scale) maps. The blue rectangle overlaid on top of the map (shown at the maximum zoom extent) shows an area 2km by 1.416km. This is the geographical area printed on our Decorative Maps derived from the small scale ( 1:10 560 scale) maps. You can see examples of the difference in the maps by clicking here. Please note that the Decorative Maps are extracts from the 1:10 560 and the 1:2500 maps and are not actually to scale.
