This map shows the large area covered by the Edmonton Hundred, from South Mimms and Potters Bar in the northwest down to Tottenham Hale in the southeast. Today it includes the borough of Enfield, parts of Haringey and Barnet, and even Hertfordshire (as Potters Bar was 'moved' there from Middlesex!)
