Compilation of the 1:250,000 map was undertaken by the War Office and was begun before the outbreak of World War I. The series includes just six sheets and centres on Belgium and neighbouring regions in France, Netherlands, and Germany. The map was prepared in five colours with contours set at 50 m. intervals. This series is more detailed than sheets of the same number and scale in series GSGS 2738 (index map for this series).

The original World War I map collection was constituted from various sources at a time when adequate records on provenance were not preserved by the then Public Archives. The present organization in sub-series was devised to accommodate maps found in other fonds and collections, therefore, the list below will include maps that may not be ordered from the present record. Researchers should consult any alternate MIKAN record number that appears below. Maps marked by the letters WWI do belong to the original collection and may be ordered here. Please note though that almost all the maps are available on microfiche and may be consulted on the premises directly from self-serve cabinets.
