Historic Jersey Maps

17 February 2021

Six Historic Maps documenting Jersey’s cartographic history are featured on a set of stamps issued by Jersey Post on 17 February 2021.

The stamps have been created as part of a joint issue with SEPAC (Small European Postal Administrations Cooperations) entitled "Ancient Maps". The 70p stamp bears the SEPAC logo.

Known for its dangerous waters and interesting topography, people have been mapping Jersey for the past millennia. The six stamps depict a selection of maps, ranging from a very early map of Jersey produced by John Norden in 1595, to a tourist road map produced by Harry Clark in 1930.
