Of interest to path users and landowners alike, the Definitive Map and Statement of Public Rights of Way brings the information up to date with the addition of any legal changes made to the public rights of way network since the last update was published in 2000.
There have been more than 50 changes to the path network since that date, including several resulting from the construction of the Jubilee River, a new link to the Thames Path at Ferry Lane in Cookham and a new link on the Green Way recreational route north of Maidenhead.
The new map shows more than 190 miles of public rights of way and is accompanied by a legal statement listing the start and finish points of each path.
The map is a set of 26 A2-size map sheets, and the statement runs to 111 pages listing the details of more than 600 individual paths.
Cllr Asghar Majeed, chairman of the rights of way and highways licensing panel, said: "The public rights of way network is an invaluable asset to the borough, as it is the main way in which residents and visitors can enjoy access to the borough's rich and varied countryside. We must work together with the landowners to provide a good network of paths.
"The path network, which accounts for more than 30% of the borough's total highway network, includes some of the most attractive sections of the Thames Path National Trail as well as many other popular walking routes such as the Green Way and horseriding trails such as the Knowl Hill and Cookham bridleway circuits."
Copies of the complete map and statement can be viewed at the Town Hall, St Ives Road, Maidenhead; York House, Sheet Street, Windsor; and Windsor and Maidenhead central libraries.
Relevant local extracts are available for viewing at all parish council offices and at the following local libraries: Cookham, Cox Green, Datchet, Eton, Old Windsor and Ascot.
The map can also be viewed electronically on the borough website at Footpaths Maps
