		MAP FEATURES
	title map maker	A title is printed on each map in a plain cartouche, lower left:- WESTMORELAND CUMBERLAND Printed at the bottom of each sheet:- Drawn & Engraved for Cobbett's Geographical Dictionary of England and Wales.
	orientation north point up is NE up is N	Each map has a north point; N-S line, E-W line, North marked by a fleur de lys spear point, all four directions labelled with a letter, N E S W. The map of Westmorland is printed with NE at the top of the sheet, Cumberland with North at the top of the sheet. But; in both instances the distortion lessens the significance of the exact orientation.
	scale	There is no indication of scale; very rough estimates have been made, ignoring distortions. The Westmorland map scale is about:- 1 to 460000 7 miles to 1 inch The Cumberland map scale is about:- 1 to 1200000 20 miles to 1 inch
	county	The county boundary is a solid line. The maps show very little except the inaccurate outline and a few towns.
	settlements	Settlements are marked by a dot and circle, except Carlisle with a double circle, differentiated by style of labelling.
	cities	double circle; labelled in upright lowercase text:- Carlisle
	towns	dot and circle; labelled in italic lowercase text, eg:- Kendal Keswick Also see:-
