	settlements street map	Settlements are marked by a block, group of blocks, or perhaps shading between streets within a town, differentiated by style of labelling.

	villages   hamlets	a block or blocks, or nothing; labelled in upright or italic lowercase, eg:- Crook Shap Brougham
	roads sands roads	A network of roads is drawn by double and single lines, for major and minor routes. The minor routes would have been tracks. Some of these will now be metalled roads; others are still tracks for the walker; or maybe disappeared. For example the road off the Kendal to Shap road, at about Watchgate is shown up Longsleddale on the east of the River Sprint; now a metalled, though single track, road. Ignoring errors at the upper end, the route continues past Harter Fell to the head of Mardale; now just a track. And then goes down the northwest side of Haweswater to Bampton; now flooded by the enlarged Haweswater Reservoir, replaced by a metalled road on the southeast shore. From near Slyne on the Lancaster to Kendal road a dotted track is shown across the Lancaster Sands and Kent Estuary to:- Carter Ho. near Kent Banks. The sands road across Leven Sands and Duddon Sands are also shown. A double dotted line for a track, crosses the Esk Estuary south of Ravenglass.
