Have you tried googling? There are loads of maps online, both modern and old.

Researching:

Calling it a map's a bit of a stretch - diagram more like, but it does show parishes in relation to each other, and you can layer on rego districts, but there's no other landmarks. See:

Hi Graham

Alan Godfrey maps are very good, not free but not expensive either, I bought an old map from them of my local area and was amazed.

Here is the link to Derbyshire maps:-
