Original - Grid square TF, shown at a scale of 1:250 000. The map shows The Wash and the North Sea, as well as places within the counties of Lincolnshire, Cambridgeshire and Norfolk.
Reason
A 1:250 000 map recently released under the OS OpenData initiative. The map illustrates the design of maps produced by the Ordnance Survey, and provides a practical example of the nature of the grid system on which virtually all OS maps are based. The MediaWiki software cannot create thumbnails of large PNG images, so this picture is presented in JPG format. A PNG version is linked to from the image page.
