| Rivers
|
Harrison's map of Hampshire shows a number of rivers; only
a few of the rivers are named. Most of the county's
major rivers are shown, but coverage does not appear to
be entirely systematic; there are some little streams
shown which could have been left out, and some not shown
which could have been included.
The style of drawing of rivers is schematic. The width of
the engraved line decreases a little as you go up.
Braiding might be suggested, for example south of
Stockbridge. The rivers that are shown can mostly be
indentified, but with a degree of guesswork!

| Comparison with Kitchin's rivers
|
|
Many road river crossings are drawn, but it is not clear that
a bridge, rather than a ford, is implied.
Although Harrison is aware of canals, they are mentioned in
the introduction to his atlas, they are not shown on
this map.
An interesting comment by one observer on Langstone Harbour
is that it is the wrong shape at the north west, does not
show enclosures that were made about 1771 (the map is
published 1788).
