Derbyshire

Carr reported three maps of Derbyshire in his History of the QTP, but only two have been seen, which are largely the same. As the two were published in 1974 and 1980, if there is a third map it is likely to have been issued before 1974. If anyone has one, I'd like to know about it, please.

The ISBN was registered in 1975 according to Amazon, but the limitation indicates that the map was issued in 1974.
