Rivers Rivers are drawn with wiggly lines. There is little attempt to taper inland. Braiding might be suggested as shown south of Stockbridge on the Test. The rivers are not named, though many can be identified. All the major river systems are shown with some tributaries. Some things to notice:-

A tributary leaves the Test near Brodlands running in from the 'west' side, slightly higher up this tributary crosses! the Test. Rivers do not do that.
The Alre seems to have been added as an afterthought.
A lake is shown at Highclere park.
