Show detail Hide detail

The 1:20,000 scale was the favourite of both the infantry and artillery, since it showed all the trenches without any significant loss of detail. This was the scale at which the British re-mapped the Western Front. The new maps were then either enlarged to 1:10,000 or reduced to 1:40,000. The design and content of the 1:20,000 trench map was similar to the 1:10,000 map. However, towards the end of the war, some changes were incorporated to include information on the German Army's rear organization C such as aerodromes and quarters for the billeting of troops C in addition to the regular detail on their front lines (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.
