    1. [KENT-ENG] MAPCO : Online Map Of Surrey 1874 with Place Name Search Engine
    2. David Hale
    3. Hello All. The place name transcription work on the 1874 map of Surrey has now been completed, so I am pleased to launch the map on the MAPCO website. It is: Map Of The County Of Surrey From Trigonometrical Survey With The Roads, Parks & Railways 1874 http://archivemaps.com/mapco/surrey1874/surrey1874.htm Use the thumbnail map at the top of each page to navigate your way around the map. Hovering your mouse pointer over the thumbnails will display a pop-up message showing the areas covered by that map section. A coloured thumbnail image shows you where you are on the map. The usual 'click to enlarge' feature applies to the individual map section images displayed. This map includes a comprehensive search feature for place names. The search feature is located at the top right of each page, with a search box containing the words "Search This Map". The Search Engine enables a targeted search of the entire 1874 map of Surrey. The spelling of place names has been accurately transcribed from the map, so reflects the spelling used on the map. No modern updating of place names has been applied, so some lateral thinking may be required to find a desired street or place. Refer to the ' Complete Index Of Surrey Place Names' link if you are having difficulty finding a place. My sincere thanks to all of the Listers who volunteered to assist with transcribing the place names from the Surrey map images. Thank you all for doing such a wonderful job! Sincerely, thank you. Enjoy this beautiful map! Kind regards, David Hale, Adelaide, South Australia.
