		Map Features
	title	Printed at the bottom:- WESTMORELAND.
	orientation north point up is W	Printed upper right is a north point, pointing South! N-S line, South marked the north symbol, a spear head. The map is printed with West at the top of the sheet.
	scale line scale	Printed above a scale line, lower left, is:- Scale of Miles marked and labelled at 5 and 10. The 10 miles = 22.0 mm gives a scale 1 to 731520 assuming a statute mile. The map scale is about:- 1 to 730000 11.5 miles to 1 inch
	sea area sea shaded sea tinted	The tiny amount of sea area shown in the Kent Estuary is shaded and tinted blue green.
	coast line coast shaded	The tiny amount of coast line shown in the Kent Estuary is shaded for emphasis. The map border at the edge of the sea area is also shaded like a coast line.
	rivers	Rivers are drawn by thin wiggle lines, most are not labelled but notice:- Eden River and, in its estuary:- Kent River The rivers shown can best be described as a muddle. For example various rivers flow to Kendal from the NE, N and NW, then stop; the Lune ends at Tebay; and so on. Apart from being wrong, rivers seem to stop when they meet a feature like a boundary or road going the same way.
	lakes	Lakes are drawn in outline, shaded, and tinted blue green. Some lakes are labelled:- Horns Water [Hawes Water] Ulles Water Windander Mere Other lakes might be recognized, eg:- Grasmere (perhaps) Skeggles Water (perhaps) The ferry across Windermere is shown by the road crossing the lake.
	parks	Two parks are shown by an outline of fence palings, the interior pecked, tinted green. They are labelled:- Wharton Park Trogtbeck Park
	county	The county boundary is a dotted line, tinted yellow, not continued where a feature is the boundary, though marking the boundary seems to take precedence over marking a river that is a boundary feature, for example at the north of Ullswater. The boundary runs through Ullswater as it does now, but is drawn to exclude Windermere lake from the county. Adjacent counties are labelled, eg:- CUMBERLAND LANCASHIRE
	settlements	Settlements are labelled in different styles, but not marked.
	towns	labelled in upright lowercase text, eg:- Kendall Ambleside List of towns etc, see
	villages   hamlets	labelled in italic lowercase text, eg:- Kirkbythore Staveley Thrimby
	roads	Roads are drawn by a double line, light bold, tinted brown. A limited number of roads is shown on this small map, perhaps just turnpikes.
