relief
hill hachuring spot heights |
Relief, the principal mountains, is shown by hill hachuring, concentrated in the central Lake District. Most hills are labelled, with spot heights, eg:- Helvellyn / 311[6] Screes / 1945 Black Combe / 1969 Rydal Fell / 2122 FURNESS FELLS The hachuring obscures labels and heights. Some hill names are in a larger font, but this seems to reflect the availability of space rather than greater height. Not all hills can be shown, but there seems to be some unevenness. Kendal Fell (650 feet) and Underbarrow Scar are shown, but not Harter Fell, Kentmere Pike, etc. No detail assessment has been made but interest does reduce outside the central area, unless the author or map compiler has a particular interest in some hill. Some valleys are labelled, eg:- ESKDALE MARDALE Wrynose Bottom And passes, eg:- Hard Knot Pass Wrynose Ps Windy Gap |
