17th Century map of the County of Huntinghamshire, England

John Speed's map of Huntingdonshire 1611 is very interesting as it is a small county and takes up only the centre of the page. Much of the fen country of Cambridgeshire is included and, also a plan of Huntingdon, and a plan of Ely although it is in Cambridgeshire. The country is covered with windmills and this is the only map of Speed's to show roads, with the Roman Watling and Ermine streets being marked. There is a very decorative title cartouche and the town plans and coats of arms flank this map
