There are 21 individual county maps available for purchase. William Smith's County Maps were originally published in six atlases, each with four maps in. William Smith had intended to continue publishing further atlases continuing the series, however the burden of bearing the costs of the publication of these maps along with his geological sections lead to large debts and a spell in a debtors prison.

This map was produced by William Smith for his fifth atlas of geological maps of English counties. It was published by John Cary in February 1822.
