Most of the maps and plans from the Survey Office and succeeding agencies responsible for land allocation in Western Australia are digitised and available through our catalogue at the following links: These plans are held by the State Records Office and are a frequently used resource, particularly for those researching lease-held (farming and grazing) land in Western Australia. In this manner, these is a succession of cancelled public plans for a given area of land, prepared at different points in time and showing how land has been allocated since the mid 1800s.

As each plan became populated with information and amendments, it was 'cancelled' and replaced by a new public plan which itself was then used as the new working plan (and amended, corrected and added to). These plans were working plans, continually updated to reflect the status of lands as they were assigned to occupiers, made open for selection, reserved for government use, etc. In the 1800s, the Surveyor General introduced the practice of making land plans available for public inspection. The concept of a cancelled public plan is simple. The maps and plans prepared since 1829 by the Survey Office and its succeeding agencies document the allocation of land holdings in Western Australia over time.Īs well as early explorations and surveys, key collections of these plans include what are known as 'cancelled public plans'.

Facilities, fleet and equipment management.

Building, utilities and essential services.

I’ve put the OS map key below so you can see what all the different types are, but it doesn’t matter too much as it’s a green dotted line you have permitted access! In Great Barrow you can see a recreational route running right through the village, as well as other footpaths all around it. To find the public right of ways you’re looking for the various types of green dots.

In this example I’ve zoomed right in on the centre of the village of Great Barrow, Cheshire.

However, keep zooming in (press ‘+’ another 4 times) and it will drill down to the OS map where you can view the public right of ways.

At first the map won’t look any different, but one click on the ‘+’ zoom in, the map will change to the more recognisable OS format.

In the top right hand corner, hover your mouse over the ‘Road’ button and click on ‘Ordnance Survey’.

This only works on laptops and desktops, unfortunately it doesn’t work on mobiles, so what I normally do is take a screenshot of the map on my laptop, then I can access it from my phone’s photo gallery when I’m out on the walk.

Just a quick note before I show you how to do it. It’s surprising how many rights of way there are and you will hopefully find walks you never knew existed! I use this all the time, especially in non lockdown times when it’s a fantastic resource to plan new walks.

I think it’s really useful to know this during lockdown as it’s great to be able to discover walking routes right from your own street.

However there is a little unknown trick to access OS maps digitally for FREE simply by using the maps facility on the search engine Bing. Once you’ve bought an OS map you are able to view it digitally for free, or you can sign up for a paid subscription to OS and access them all. Much as I prefer to view a physical map, there are times when it’s just easier and quicker to view them on your computer. I’ve made no secret of my love for maps, whether it be framed maps on my wall or map coasters…give me a map and I’m happy! I’ve already built up quite a little collection of Ordnance Survey maps, which I keep hidden away from the kids because the moment they get their hands on them they insist on opening them out fully and such are my tessellation skills I can never quite get the big ones folded back the right way if I’ve not opened them myself!
