OS 10k Raster Tiles by UK County & Shire (1:10,000 Ordnance Survey GeoTIFF Maps)

OS 10k Raster Tiles by UK County & Shire (1:10,000 Ordnance Survey GeoTIFF Maps)

OS 1:10,000 raster tiles are high-resolution, georeferenced GeoTIFF map tiles covering Great Britain. This product provides convenient access to OS 10k mapping data pre-packaged by UK counties and historic shires, making it easier to obtain complete coverage for defined administrative areas.

Each tile delivers detailed mapping at a 1:10,000 scale and integrates seamlessly with GIS and CAD systems. Ideal for planning, land analysis, and mapping projects, county-based bundles simplify data selection and reduce the need to source individual tiles.

What Makes These Tiles Different?

Unlike standard OS raster tile downloads supplied as individual grid squares, this product groups tiles into county and shire-based collections, allowing you to:

  • download complete coverage for a county in one purchase
  • avoid manually selecting multiple 5km x 5km tiles
  • ensure consistent mapping across administrative boundaries
  • streamline GIS workflows for regional projects

This makes the dataset particularly useful for users working at a county or regional level.
