North-west orientated, the map extends from Witley and Hambledon Heath in the south to Guildford in the north, and from Thursley Common and Puttenham in the west to Bramley and Shalford in the east. The Hog’s Back runs prominently across the upper right of the map. Several chalk pits are shown, indicating the chalk soils of the region—today increasingly associated with English sparkling wine production—with one pit marked on the present site of Greyfriars Vineyard. The map records the local road network, rivers and streams, commons and woodland, scattered farms and country houses, and the built fabric of Godalming and its district, which is subdivided into named areas keyed by Roman numerals. Finely engraved with original outline colour, it is mounted on linen and folded into cloth boards, suggesting practical local use. Undated, but on stylistic and cartographic grounds it most likely dates from no later than c.1830. The map bears a striking stylistic resemblance to Robert Dawson’s borough maps prepared for the 1832 Reform Act, although Guildford appears here in a less developed state than on Dawson’s 1832 plan of the borough, and Godalming in a slightly less developed state than Dawson's 1837 map.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Antiquemapsandprints.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51973513118043,"sku":"P-6-110962","price":160.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0923\/9583\/1643\/files\/P-6-110962a.jpg?v=1767188669"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.antiquemapsandprints.com\/fr\/collections\/map-of-godalming-and-its-vicinity.oembed","provider":"Antiquemapsandprints.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
