The Wight 1:250 OOO-scale Solid Geology sheet (2nd Edition)

The British Geological Survey completed its coverage of first editions of the UK land and continental shelf area at a scale of 1:250 000 in 1992. The series consists of sea bed sediment maps, Quaternary geology maps, solid geology maps, gravity anomaly maps and magnetic anomaly maps on a 1° by 2° UTM grid. The Wight Sheet covers part of the central English Channel and part of adjacent southern England as delimited by the points 51 oN 2°W, 51°N OOE, SOoN OOE and SOoN 2°W. The first edition of the Wight Sheet (solid geology) was the first of the solid geology maps in this series and was published by the then IGS in 1977. It was compiled not by BGS geologists but by D. Curry and A.J. Smith (University College, London) and D. Hamilton (University of Bristol).
