| Rivers |
River estuaries on Jansson's map of Hampshire and Berkshire, 1646,
are shaded, as the coast line. Rivers are continued inland by a
tapering wiggly line. Larger streams have a double line first, with
a suggestion of form lines where broad enough. Some rivers are
labelled. Most of the main streams, and tributaries seem to
be shown. A pond or lake is drawn at Highclere Park on the tributary
to the Enborne, Fleet Pond is drawn, etc. The style of drawing of rivers is schematic. The width of the engraved lines decreases as you go up, but not to match the rivers true size [as judged today], and although braiding might be indicated it is not an exact match to the rivers [today's] courses. The rivers that are shown can mostly be indentified, but with a degree of guesswork. |
