Alresford 19

1 : 31680 Relief is indicated on this plan by shading and interlining ('hachuring'). The concern with depicting relief accurately reflects the military emphasis of these drawings: knowledge of the lie of the land could greatly help the efficient movement of regiments. The right-hand side of the drawing is unfinished, featuring main roads only.

Salisbury

1 : 31680 This drawing is rich in archaeological sites, among them the prehistoric monument known as Stonehenge. Situated on Salisbury Plain, it is the most celebrated megaithic monument in England. The iron-age hillfort of Old Sarum is also marked. A castle and cathedral were built on its earthworks during the 12th century, but abandoned when a new cathedral was built a mile and a half away - the foundation of the modern city of Salisbury. The red line extending from Old Sarum to Beacon Hill is the baseline for the triangulation of the area. Several other archaeological sites are marked: the iron-age hillforts at Vispasians Camp, Ogbury Camp and Clorus's Camp. Crocker, Edmund

Alton

1 : 31680 This map depicts a part of Hampshire's North Downs, particularly the chalk hills to the south of Basingstoke. Buildings appear infilled and blocked in red ink at the main settlements of Basingstoke, at the top of the plan, and Alton, at the bottom. Hewitt, John

Andover

This drawing delineates the county border of Hampshire and Wiltshire. The boundary is marked as a red pecked line and follows the path of main roads and field boundaries. At Fullerton, the River Test branches into its tributaries. The draughtsman names each river and canal and depicts their various intersections. Main communication routes are tinted yellow, with the road near Doles Wood at the top of the plan marked "TG", meaning toll gate. Attention paid to communication routes is evidence of the military focus of the survey. Several archaeological sites are marked in this area, with the neighbouring hillforts of Sidbury and Quarley indicated by concentric rings towards the top left of the map. Varying shades of green are used to distinguish forests and meadows.

Bishop's Waltham, Southampton

This drawing was completed in 1806. The detail with which it records the road network is greater than in previous maps - testimony to the Ordnance Survey's urgency and military intent. The Roman road from Winchester to Old Sarum is marked running from the top left of the map, with smaller sections of the road shown in the Chilworth area. The origin and terminus of these roads are also noted. A line with a circle at each end leads from the margins of the map to Morstead. This line was used to plot locations and landmarks. Several "Ancient Entrenchments" are marked, notably an iron-age hillfort near Winchester called St. Catherine's Hill. The fort is indicated by concentric rings of dark, cross-hatched strokes ('hachures'). Week Turnpike Gate is marked on the road between Week and Winchester. The recording of a dog kennel above Little Sombourne and bathing houses on the coast between Southampton and Redbridge reveal the meticulousness of the Survey, and perhaps too the interests of the draughtsman.
