		MAP FEATURES
	title cartouche strapwork cartouche	Printed in a strapwork cartouche, decorated with a face, lower right:- Westmorland and Cumberla~d Translated from the Latin of an earlier edition.
	orientation labelled borders up is N	Just inside the four map borders are labels, in Latin, for the cardinal directions:- Septentrio / Oriens / Meridies / Occidens The map is printed with North at the top of the sheet.
	scale line scale	Printed in a strapwork cartouche upper right is a:- Scala Miliarum chequered in miles, labelled in fives. The 10 miles = 15.3 mm gives a scale 1 to 1051819 wrongly assuming a statute mile. The map scale is about:- 1 to 1100000 16 miles to 1 inch Guessing that the mile is an Old English Mile, the map scale is more likely about:- 1 to 1300000 20 miles to 1 inch
	sea area sea moire effect swash lettering	The sea is patterned by a moire effect. It is labelled simply:- OCEANUS with some swash lettering.
	coast line coast shaded	The coast line is emphasised by shading.
	rivers bridges	Rivers are drawn by wiggly double lines with form lines, tapering at their head. No river is labelled, but it is possible to recognise a number of the larger streams. The map has no roads but a few bridges are drawn by a double line crossing and interrupting a stream, perhaps with a suggestion of an arch. There are examples at Kirkby Lonsdale and Levens.
	lakes	Lakes are drawn by an outline, the interior or just the shore, shaded. No lake is labelled, but it is possible to recognise some, with varying degrees of certainty:- Bassenthwaite Lake Coniston Water Derwent Water Thirlmere Ullswater Windermere and three out of:- Buttermere (?) Crummock Water (?) Ennerdale Water (?) Loweswater (?)
	relief hillocks	Relief is indicated by hillocks, shaded to the east. Theses are scattered in spaces between labels, though it is possible to imagine a central patch of hills, a Pennine chain, the Eden valley, ...

Westmorland, Cumberland and Lancashire are not labelled, but other adjacent counties and country are:- DUNELMENSIS EPISC. PARS Eboracensis Pars SCOTIAE PARS A few features are shown outwith the map's counties for the sake of continuity.
