| Rivers
|
Saxton's map of Hampshire clearly shows its rivers; some of
them are named. All the major rivers are shown, but there
are some little streams shown which might have been left out,
and some not shown which might have been included. Keep in
mind that this map was produced for government; knowledge
of rivers is necessary to the planning of troop movements,
they are a serious barrier.
The style of drawing of rivers is schematic, drawn tapering
from their mouth. There is no excessive wiggliness but it
clear that rivers are represented. Braiding is indicated,
but is not an exact match to the rivers' [today's] courses.
The rivers that are shown can mostly be indentified, with
a degree of guesswork.
A number of bridges are indicated; they too are
important knowledge if movements are being planned.
Harbours, havens, along the coast are labelled clearly.
Some ferries are noticed. At least one pond is shown, at
Alresford.
