Rivers

Blaeu's Hampshire 1645

Rivers Blaeu's map shows a number of rivers; most are not named. Hampshire's major rivers are all shown.

The style of drawing of rivers is schematic. The width of the engraved lines decreases as you go up, but not to match the rivers true size [as judged today], and although braiding is indicated it is not an exact match to the rivers [today's] courses. The rivers that are shown can mostly be indentified, but with a degree of guesswork.
