Description: | The heavy colour washes used to depict relief make this plan difficult to interpret. These Ordnance Survey drawings show a greater preoccupation with the lie of the land than any previous maps - testimony to the military impetus of the project. Inclines are indicated by interlining ('hachuring'), with the summits left bare. The boundary of Devon and Somerset is shown by a red pecked line. A note in the margin of the paper provides a key to the plan's interpretation. | License: | http://www.bl.uk/services/copy/permission.html | Rights holder: | British Library | Subjects: | Cartography And Topography Manufacturing Maps Trade And Economics Industry | Source: | Collect Britain | Creator: | unattributed | Identifier: | http://www.collectbritain.co.uk/personal... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
