Accuracy issues with map
[edit]The map is based upon the modern Civil Parishes. Some parishes have had significant alterations in the past 40 years. The more obvious examples are annotated on the map. Some of these are quite subtle, but still visible as this scale.
Most serious of these are in South Molton RD and adjacent districts - Brayford consisted of two parishes in 1974, and South Molton's parish boundary has changed quite recently. Compare to these boundary maps from 1944: North[dead link] and South[dead link].
In addition the lakes/coastline data is incorrect in places. For example, Roadford reservoir was constructed in 1989.
