Baulit

1 : 31680 The Wye Valley runs from the top to the bottom of the sheet.Forming a natural border, the valley became a regular battleground throughout the Roman, Saxon Norman eras,and during the Marcher Wars in the reign of James I. To the left of the sheet are the peaks of Mynydd Eppynt. To the right, the border of England and Wales is marked by the ancient earth bank, Offa's Dyke. The castle town of Builth is depicted at the top of the sheet. Built at the end of the 12th century, the castle witnessed repeated conflicts, and frequently changed hands between the Welsh and English. After Edward I's campaign against the Welsh in 1277, the castle was refortified and transformed into a formidable fortress. Budgen, Thomas

Newtown

1 : 31680 The River Severn Valley,features,runs,from left to right on this plan of part of mid- Wales. With its source high on the Cumbrian Mountains, the river flows through,a narrow rocky channel in its upper course, becoming wider and deeper in its middle course and its valley flatter. Budgen, Thomas

Llandrindod

1 : 31680 This plan of part of Powis,depicts the uplands of the Radnor Forest, to the right of the sheet. A mix of dispersed farmland and commonland,along the valley of the Ithon River dominates the landscape of this,central part of,Wales. Budgen, Thomas

Hay

1 : 31680 Pencil lines radiating from fixed points indicate trigonometric measurements made to plot features of the landscape. These are particularly evident at the margins of the drawing, where they are annotated by place names. Budgen

Hafod, Llanidloes

1 : 31680 .This plan of the,Ystwyth valley in the Cambrian Mountains is formally titled. The scale of the drawing is noted and the area of the land recorded,as 183.0453 square miles. Archaeological sites are named in gothic script. Colour washes depicting relief are combined with numerical annotations ('spot heights'), in red and black ink, indicating the height of the hills. The altitudes in red ink,are trigonometrically ascertained; those in black are estimated. Dawson, Robert

Cardiganshire

1 : 31680 This drawing is formally titled. Its scale is noted and the surveyed area recorded as 205.6742 square miles. Archaeological sites are named in gothic script. Colour washes depicting relief are combined with numerical annotations ('spot heights') in red and black ink giving the heights of the hills. Figures in red represent trigonometrically ascertained altitudes whereas those in black are estimates. On the top left margin a note, dated 1st April 1822, from draughtsman Robert Dawson reads: "Cws yr ychen Bannog, is an ancient Bank said to run from sea to sea. It could not be traced in this survey beyond Carn Cron. The Rev John Williams of Ystrad Meyric supposes it may be a British Road, or a Boundary between two tribes of the Britons". Dawson, Robert

Builth

1 : 31680 These field sketches of the Irfon Valley in central Wales were made on several pieces of thin and irregularly cut paper, joined and laid down on thick paper. The assemblage was cut into 12 rectangular pieces, each approximately 200 x 310mm, then remounted to form one sheet. The many pencil notes on the drawing were made before the sheet was cut. The map provides a good illustration of the convention of 'relative command', which indicates the relative height of the hills using black ink numbers: Hill 3 being higher than Hill 2, for example. Brushwork interlining and ink washes further depict relief. Dawson, Robert

Llanerfyl

1 : 31680 The formal title of the drawing states that Robert Dawson supervised the surveyor. Dawson, one of the best surveyors and draughtsmen, was employed on the Ordnance Survey for over forty years, working also as an instructor. The scale of the drawing is noted and the area of the land recorded as 165.4742 square miles. A triangulation diagram appears on the reverse. This enabled draughtsmen to plot the exact location of topographical features. Colour washes depicting relief are combined with numerical annotations ('spot heights') in black ink indicating the heights of hills. The draughtsman has also distinguished between the representation of coniferous and deciduous trees. Hall, Joseph

Llandovery 3

1 : 31680 .The Black Mountains dominate this plan of part of,Carmarthenshire, with the toll road from London to Haverfordwest and the Pembrokeshire coast forming the northern boundary. Above the plan, Brynda is indicated as a reference point for triangulation. Near the bottom right, the remains of an old Roman road across the Fawr Forest are indicated by a red double-dotted line.
