Manchester, Liverpool and the mill towns between them are mapped street by street in The Authentic Map Directory of South Lancashire, edited by James Bain and published by Geographia in London in 1935. The directory crossed county edges into Cheshire and the Mersey settlements, following Manchester and its satellite towns, Liverpool and the Wirral, and the districts around Wigan, Rochdale, Oldham and Bolton. The Manchester Ship Canal and a regional railway map tie the local sheets to the transport network, while coverage reaches the coast at Southport and Crosby and climbs towards the Pennine fringe around Saddleworth.
