The Saxton Atlas was created by Christopher Saxton in 1578 after he received permission from Queen Elizabeth I.

The book contains 35 hand-coloured maps of the counties of England and Wales.

The atlas, which formed the basis of all succeeding county maps for over 100 years, is part of a heritage event at Leeds Central Library.
