The name dates back to World War II. Much of the mapping carried out during the war was done by the Department of Ordnance (the guys who take care of munitions, artillery, tanks etc.). Their maps then, were known as Ordnance Survey maps. Today, Ordnance Survey maps are carried out by civilian teams and have nothing to do with ordnance but the name has stuck.
