Captain Neville's Map of Derry.

Ok, this worked once before when my Google-Fu failed to turn up good maps of Limerick so I thought I'd try again...

Captain Francis Neville drew a map entitled 'A Survey of the City of Londonderry as it was Beseiged by the Irish Army An:1689'

There is a portion of the map seen [url =http://www.creggancountrypark.com/uploa ... 114816.pdf]here[/url]...

I can find portions of the map, mostly close views of the actually city. I am wondering if anyone has or knows a source for the full map, at a resolution where it is legible.

Thanks, in advance...

I have found evidence to categorize Neville's map as a composite piece drawn months after the siege and not from an eye witness perspective. Not to see that what it shows is untrue but that unlike an iPhone selfie, it does not represent a moment in time rather, a time lapse picture over several weeks
