There are 3 "Eskdales" that I know of. One around Whitby, one in the English Lake District and one in Dumfriesshire, Scotland. The last of thse is where Thomas Telford (and his Jock Stewart) came from. If you're looking on MULTIMAPS, the Lake District one comes up. Look for ESKDALEMUIR to get the Scottish one.
