A New map of HAMPSHIRE Drawn from the Latest AuthoritiesThe cartouche is a block of stone with foliage creeping over the top; and a ship sailing away beside it. The ship looks like a small three masted man-of-war flying a large ensign.
Printed at the bottom:-
Published by ALEXR. HOGG, at the Kings Arms, No.16 PATERNOSTER ROW.
The coat of arms of the Southampton is printed upper left.
compass rose
The map has a simple compass rose; a plain circle with lines for the cardinal directions, north marked by a fleur de lys, east by a cross, and dotted lines for the half cardinal directions.

lakes
bridges
Rivers are drawn by wiggly lines, broad at the mouth, tapering inland. Braiding might be shown, for example on the Test. Some rivers are labelled, eg:-
Avon R.A lake is shown at Farnborough.
Roads on the map generally interupt rivers, loosely implying a bridge. A clear example, see Eling. But the engraver is not careful; at Christchurch the river and road both continue through the intersection implying a ford, but I do not believe this is interntional. At Bursledon or Hamble? the river interupts the road, implying a ferry? Again I think it is a lack of care.
hillocks
Small indistinct hillocks shaded to the east signify hills. These are grouped, but do not depict the bones of the county at all well or reliably. The road from Petersfield towards Alton is drawn running along a ridge of hills:-
There is a village symbol labelled:-
Beaconsomewhere near Popham Beacons?
forests
The map has some groupings of very little tree symbols. There is some labelling:-
NEW FOREST
East Bere Forest
The table of symbol gives an oval of fence palings for a park. This symbol, in various shapes and sizes is found over the map. None (?) is explicitly labelled.
The county boundary is a dotted line. Adjacent counties are labelled, eg:-
WILT SHIRE
streets
Place labelling is a muddle of engraving, across feature symbols ...
WINCHESTER
AndoverOtherwise just a circle which the table says is a village; labelled upright lowercase text, eg:-
Odiam
Froyle
Roads are drawn by a double line.
roman roads
Three roads have dotted lines; the Portway, the roman road east from Winchester, and the road south from Silchester.
