Hundreds Hundred boundaries on Jansson's map of Hampshire and Berkshire are dotted lines, the areas labelled.

Notice that there are two Andover Hundreds. The larger is Andover Without Hundred or Andover Extra Hundred. The 'Without' part of the label is on the map attached to a hamlet symbol, an error copied from an earlier map.

The relationship between modern and old hundreds is very inexact; modern hundreds have little use today.

An interesting feature of the map can be seen in the engraving of the hundred boundaries:-


The planned line of the hundred boundary can be seen as a fine line, a soft scratch by the engraver which shows up in the final printing. The boundary engraved by dots, after placenames have been added to the map, carefully avoids the placename labels, in this instance around 'Netley'.

The hundred boundaries are not plots of a surveyed boundary, they are just lines surrounding a group of settlements which belong in the hundred, partitioning the county into administrative regions. The plotted boundary should not be treated as a line to be transferred onto another map, or GIS software, as a real boundary line.
