The survey was commenced in the 1790s by the Board of Ordnance (later the Ministry of Defence), in response to the feared invasion of England by the French. Kent, the first Ordnance Survey map, was published on 1st January 1801 by William Faden, Geographer to the King.
Captain Mudge's Survey of Kent is one of the finest maps displayed on the MAPCO website.
