Somerset
In his History of the QTP (1987) Carr reported having published two editions of a map of Somerset. Two editions have been seen, one of 500 sheets the other of 502 sheets. I suspect that Carr may have changed the number of sheets slightly when he issued a second edition, so I have assumed that the edtion of 500 came first.
