There are two copies of this map in the National Library of Wales. Carr donated a copy which he sent with a manuscript note:
Presented to the National Library of Wales by James Lloyd Carr, a Welsh patriot by proxy, who alone and without allies defended the land of his fathers (by baptism) on many a bloody-nosed Yorkshire playground (whilst) scarcely knowing Wales existed. Whilst gazing at the Monument of misinformation, honour the child-that-was martyred on your behalf. That reward will be almost enough. May 20th 1969.
