Chester 26

1 : 31680 This plan follows the meandering River Dee from Chester, at the top of the map, to Overton and Ruabon, at the bottom left. A section of the Shropshire Union Canal, running from Chester to Waverton, is shown in blue. At the bottom left of the map, an area calculation table survives in black ink. The pencil gridlines running through Chester were most likely guides for making enlarged or reduced copies of the map. Field, John

Cyrn y Brain

1 : 31680 The county boundary of Denbighshire and Flintshire is indicated here by a red pecked line. The plan is formally titled, with a note in the top left corner explaining that it has been copied from the original protraction with north facing upwards instead of true. A triangulation diagram appears on the reverse of the drawing: this enabled the draughtsman to plot with prominent topographical features with precision. Many pencil lines radiate from a trigonometrical point at Cefny Fedw, indicated by a dot within a triangle. These represent the angular measurements taken from this point. Giles, John C.

Birkenhead

The formal title at the top left of this drawing states that Robert Dawson supervised the surveyor. One of the best surveyors and draughtsmen, Dawson was employed on the Ordnance Survey for over forty years, also working as an instructor. The scale of the drawing is noted and the area of the land is recorded as 64.0185 square miles. A triangulation diagram appears on the reverse of this drawing. This was an essential tool enabling draughtsmen to plot the exact location of topographical features. Hill sketching has not been included on this plan. Giles, John C.

Flint

It is one of the few drawings to make reference to the Tower. A triangulation drawing appears on the reverse, along with an area calculation, referred to in its formal title. Major communication routes are highlighted in yellow, following standard military cartographic convention. Hughes, Herbert J.

Mold

1 : 31680 A triangulation diagram appears on the reverse of this diagram, enabling the draughtsman to plot features of the landscape with precision. An area calculation is also written on the back of the sheet. At Northop, pencil lines radiate from a dot within a red triangle. This is a trigonometrical station from which angular measurements were taken. The ancient Watts Dike is named in gothic script; the standard presentation after 1816, when the inclusion of archaeological features became obligatory. A note in the bottom left of the drawing gives the date on which the drawing was received in the Tower - one of the few plans to do so. Giles, John C.
