Historical Background: This map is a modern interpretation of the Domesday Book, a great survey of England and Wales completed in 1086 by order of King William the Conqueror. The survey recorded land, resources, and inhabitants in postNorman Conquest England, providing an invaluable record of the time. This particular map focuses on the historic county of Yorkshire, referred to as "Euruicscire" in the Domesday Book. The cartographer, John Garnons Williams, published this and other similar maps as part of "The Domesday Collection" in 1986, celebrating the 900th anniversary of the original Domesday survey. This map offers a visually appealing and educational way to explore a key document in English history.
