explanation
|
Some maps have a table of symbols to explain some of
the cartographic signs used on the drawing; others take
for granted that the signs are comprehensible. Other maps
have the signs explained in a header paragraph of the atlas,
not on the map sheet - this is not often available with a
map detached from its atlas.

Symbols from a number of Hamshire maps studied have been tabulated.
