groups of buildings, some with towers. The groups vary a little
in size. The name labels grade the settlements;

Helens, Isle of Wight. Plate number 'VI' is printed top
right.

cardinal, and false points by star points, North is marked by a
fleur de lys.

A winged cherub's head puffs to indicate wind direction at the
time of the action.

indicate cliffs or a steep shore.

|
coastal defence
castles
fortifications
|
Castles along the mainland coast are drawn by a building with
a flag, at:-
Portland Castle
Corfe Castle

Calshot Castle
St Andrew's Castle
Portcaesar

Yarmouth
Cows
Sandham Fort [IoW]
Portsmouth, and the edge of Southampton, are shown by a star
symbol which (I think) represent polygonal fortifications.

bridges
|
River estuaries are drawn with form lines, and then the river
is drawn by a wiggly line going tapering inland. The rivers are
not named.
A few bridges are shown.
|
relief
hillocks
|
Relief is not treated seriously; many little hillocks are
drawn on the land, but they are just scattered about as
decoration. Corfe Castle is shown on its hill; the range of hills
across the Isle of Wight is more carefully defined.
|
beacons
|
Warning beacons are not shown; which is a pity as the beacon
system was an important part of the country's defences in
1588.
|
trees
|
Tree are drawn on the land. But, as with hillocks, it looks as
if they are just decorative.
|
county
|
The county boundary is a fine dotted line; the county areas
are labelled, eg;-
PART OF HAMP SHIRE
|
settlements
|
The coast of Hampshire shows:-
Christchurch
Limmington
SOUTHAMPTON
