George Sanderson (1798-1851) was an engineering surveyor based Mansfield, Nottinghamshire. After the Poor Law Amendment Act of 1834, which introduced workhouses for England's poor, he surveyed five counties (this Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire, Leicestershire, Lincolnshire and Yorkshire) to aid the administration of the Poor Laws. In 1837, the year after the publication of this map, he became 'Auditor of the Mansfield Poor Law Union'. In 1843 this map was republished as the 'Parish and Poor Law Union map of the county of Nottingham'.
