This map by Benjamin Donn was produced as part of a 12-sheet map of Devon in 1765. Donn was awarded £100 from the Royal Society for the Arts for the best 1 inch to a mile survey of an English county.

This 'Plan of the City & Suburbs of Exeter', dating back to 1792, was surveyed by Charles Tozer and engraved by Thomas Yeakell.

Plan of Exeter, extending as far as St Thomas in the south and to the top of Sidwell Street in the north. It includes a legend to the churches in Exeter in the upper right corner and a dedication statement to the Mayor, Recorder, Sheriff, Aldermen and commonalty of Exeter in the upper left corner. It also features a drawing of a woman (goddess?), seated under a tree, holding a shield and wearing a blue dress, and indicating with her left hand towards the title and Rougemont Castle in the background. Near her left foot is a pile of books, including one marked 'Hist[or]y of Devon'. The plan is mostly shaded in greys and browns, with some accents in blue and yellow.
