1:50,000 Scale Colour Raster is Ordnance Survey’s definitive raster product, providing a complete digital view of the popular Landranger® paper map series. It offers clear detail on roads, footpaths, woods, water features, important buildings and height contours. It provides a comprehensive map base ideal for detailed work where street names are not required, such as demographic analysis. At scales smaller than 1:60,000 OS Vector Map District data is displayed to provide a national context to the dataset. 

 For currency of this data, please see the release notes here: Release Notes – Help | Maps+ (esriuk.com)
