Manuscript map of uncertain provenance. Appears to have been reduced in size slightly, as has 'bleeding edges'. No title or date; scale not graduated; more harbour works than on the Lysons map [Exeter 19913]. Very little text, and industry must mostly be inferred from distinctive building shapes, (e.g. kilns, rope-walk).
