Notice at Brock Crags, south of Angle Tarn, the
misalignment of countour lines. This is probably from a
paste up error in the lithographic process by which the map

depth contours table of depths layer colouring |
Lakes are plotted accurately in outline, tinted blue, and labelled. Islands are plotted. The map includes:- HAWESWATER ULLSWATER Angle Tarn Hayes Water Brothers Water and not labelled:- Littlewater tarn 
The two main lakes are the subject of the bathymetric survey. Depth contours are drawn, and layer colouring in shades of blue used, mostly at 25 foot intervals. A table of depths is printed on the left. The lines of soundings are shown, with dots for sounding points. At the left of the map a series of longitudinal and cross sections are printed, each with a true and a 15x exaggerated vertical scale. Remember that Hawes Water, at this date, is a lake, not a larger reservoir. |

the county boundary, which runs through Ullswater, would
confuse the drawing of sounding lines etc.
