The map was earlier used by John Cary for the geological map
coloured by William Smith: some engraved details of this use
remain. Notice the dotted boundary lines crossing
Longsleddale north of Skeggles Water, through Swinklebank
and over Ancrow Brow. Although their position might not be
right, they represent the geological boundaries of the
Coniston Limestone Series running across the valley, with
the Borrodale Volcanic Series to the north, and Brathay
Flags to the south.
