The Old Road Map of Jersey, 1950 offers a fascinating window into the transportation infrastructure and rural charm of the largest of the Channel Islands during the mid-20th century. Produced in a period of renewal and development following World War II, this map captures the unique blend of British and French influences that define the island’s identity, while providing practical guidance for motorists and travelers of the era.

Designed with clarity and utility in mind, the map details the network of main roads, secondary roads, country lanes, and footpaths that crisscross the island. Key towns and villages such as St. Helier, St. Brelade, St. Peter, and Gorey are clearly marked, along with various landmarks, beaches, ports, and points of interest, making the map not only a navigational tool but also a snapshot of daily life on Jersey.

The road system reflects the island’s rural character, with winding routes connecting agricultural areas, coastal communities, and scenic countryside. Notably, this map predates widespread modernization of the road network, offering a view of Jersey before the rise of mass tourism and contemporary development. Inset features or legends may indicate distances, elevation, and road classifications, enhancing its use for planning travel across the island.

With its subtle color palette, precise cartographic lines, and vintage typographic style, the 1950 road map carries a distinct nostalgic charm, emblematic of postwar cartography. It reflects a time when motor travel was becoming more popular, and maps like this played an essential role in personal mobility and exploration.
