1:50 000 Series geological maps for England & Wales are produced in landscape format, each covering an area of approximately 20km north-south and 30km east-west.
Combined sheets, special sheets and those for coastal districts may have a different coverage.
Maps are normally available in both flat and folded formats.
This map shows the solid geology in detail with abridged information for the drift deposits. The drifit geology, comprising sand & gravel and boulder clay (which are contemporaneous) are shown in outline but are not differentiated and are not therefore given a geological symbol. The map is thereby correctly described as Solid with Drift, but in most practical respects is a Solid with Undifferentiated Drift. [Flat Map]

For some districts copies of out of print maps are available through our 'Print-on-demand' service.
These maps are printed as required (normally within 2 days) using a high resolution, high permancence digital printer: the maps are supplied in flat form only: they are indicated by '(POD)' in the list.
