Rivers |
Norden's map shows a number of rivers, but these are not named.
Most of Hampshire's major rivers are shown, but coverage does not
appear to be entirely systematic; there are some little streams
shown which might have been left out, and some not shown which
might have been included. The style of drawing is schematic, wiggly lines whose width decreases upstream. There are attempts to suggest complicated braiding such as occurs on the Test or the Itchen, for example south of Stockbridge. The rivers that are shown can mostly be indentified, but with a degree of guesswork because accuracy is not all it could be! Rivers etc are listed below. Streams which have been located but lack a name, on OS 6in, 2.5in or 1in maps, have been allocated a name. |
