|
settlements |
Settlements on the route are drawn as blocks beside the road,
indicating the size of the place and perhaps giving some idea of
street layout; these settlements might not include the church
which would have been there. A settlement off the route might
be indicated by a drawing of a church - that is what would be
visible from the route. An important house might be shown by a
drawing of a house.
Most places are named. The labelling font does not provide a
reliable guide to the importance or size of the place.
