| rivers |
Rivers are drawn by a curvy double line tapering to a
point at the head. The rivers shown need careful
interpretation. One oddity is a circular river around
Cockermouth and Keswick drained by a stream to the Solway
Coast at Workington - that's what is shown.
A couple of rivers are labelled:- Eden flu [Lann] flu [the Lune through Lancaster] |
|
|
|
||
| lakes |
One lake is drawn, at the head of one of the headwaters
of the Kent; it is not reasonable to suggest what lake it
might be, nor which river it is on.
The circular river might be a misunderstanding of a lake outline on the source made available to Mercator? |

central Lakes area. This is divided in two by the headwaters
of the Duddon and ?Eamont.
