MAP FEATURES
title cartouche title decorative border	Printed upper left is a shaded title cartouche:- HAMPSHIRE The shading matches the map's moderately, formally decorated border, which is, perhaps, typical of the early 19th century?
orientation compass rose up is N	Printed upper right is a compass rose; no circle, star points for cardinal and half cardinal directions, North marked by a fleur de lys. The map is printed with North at the top of the sheet.
scale line scale	Printed lower left is a:- Scale of Miles chequered in miles to 5, then in 5 mile intervals. The 10 miles = 21.1 mm gives a scale 1 to 762722 assuming a statute mile. The map scale is about:- 1 to 760000 12 miles to 1 inch
sea area sea plain	The sea area is plain; some sea areas are labelled, eg:- ENGLISH CHANNEL The Solent Spithead
coast line coast form lines headlands harbours	The coast line is emphasised by form lines. Of the headlands only:- Hengistbury Head is labelled, and of the harbours only:- Portsmouth Harb. The form lines in the larger harbours suggest some of the islands.
coastal defence castles	Very little of the coastal defence of Hampshire is noticed on the map. Only:- Hurst Castle is drawn, perhaps by a dot and circle and tower, and labelled.
rivers bridges	Rivers are drawn by wiggly lines tapering upstream. A few are labelled, eg:- R. Avon R. Test R. Itching The main coastal rivers are all drawn. Some of the inland rivers - Wey, Blackwater and Enborne - are drawn but others - Rother, Loddon etc, are missing. Bridges are implied by a road crossing and interrupting a stream. None are labelled (?).
relief	No relief is shown.
woods	No woodland is indicated. And, unusually, the New Forest is not even labelled.
parks	A few parks are drawn by an outline with fence palings, the interior dotted, and perhaps having a block for a house. Some are labelled, eg:- Hackwood Park Basing Pa. [near Filmer Hill]
county	The county boundary is a dotted line, which is also used to separate adjacent counties. The adjacent counties are labelled, eg:- WILTSHIRE Very little is drawn outside the county. The detached part of Hampshire in Sussex is drawn, labelled:- Part of Hants. This detached area existed when the map was drawn, 1830, but was absorbed into Sussex by the time the copy was published. The copy has been updated for other features (railways) but not this.
settlements distances from London	Settlements are marked by a few blocks, differentiated by style of labelling.
city	a few blocks; labelled in upright block caps:- WINCHESTER / 62

town	a few blocks; labelled in upright lowercase text, eg:- Odiham / 41 Andover / 63 The figure by the town is the distance from London.

village hamlet	a bock or two; labelled in italic lowercase text, eg:- Exton Upper Wallop

roads	Roads are drawn by a double line, light bold. Only the main road network is shown, and the bold line might indicate turnpikes as it does on other maps. Some road destinations outside the county are given, eg:- To Stains and London From Amesbury
canals	Two canals are shown, by a bold curvy line.
Basingstoke Canal	from Basingstoke to the county boundary near Aldershot, labelled:- Basingstoke Canal The tunnel at Greywell is dotted. The branch to Turgis is shown, tho' it was never cut.

Andover Canal	from Andover to Redbridge, labelled:- Andover Can.

RAILWAYS	- added to 1860s map
	There were no railways when the map was drawn about 1830. Railways are drawn by a bold line with cross ties. The engraving is done crudely, running over existing features and labelling. It is not all done in the same style, which hints that railways might have been added bit by bit. A few of the lines are labelled; lines going out of the county are labelled with their destination. The railways shown are (the list terms are the standard terms used elsewhere):-
