Cader Idris

1 : 31680 This plan of south Snowdonia runs from Cardigan Bay inland to the Cader Idris. Types of land use are indistinguishable in this drawing as no clear symbols have been used. The purple 'Ordnance Survey Manuscript Store' stamp at the top right margin is dated 9th April 1881. Dawson, Robert

Arran Mowddy

1 : 31680 Below the formal title of this drawing, at the bottom left margin, an annotation informs the reader that trigonometrically ascertained altitudes are written in red ink, while estimated altitudes are in black. These numerical annotations are combined with colour washes and pencil interlinings ('hachures') to indicate relief. Archaeological sites are named in gothic script and an area calculation table is given in black ink. A note signed by the draughtsman Robert Dawson thanks Reverend R Davies of Bangor for correcting Welsh placenames. Dawson, Robert

Cernioge Inn

1 : 31680 This plan of the southern fringes of Snowdonia includes the Manod and Moelwyn mountains. The drawing is formally titled, with the scale of the drawing noted and the area of the land recorded as 188.84 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 heights of hills. Altitudes shown in red have been trigonometrically ascertained; those in black are estimated. Dawson, Robert

Abermaw

1 : 31680 This is the original protraction for a plan of Snowdonia, running from Barmouth Bay inland to Llanegryn. On his Welsh drawings, Dawson introduced the convention of 'relative command': the indication of the relative height of the hills by numbers - Hill 3 being higher than Hill 2, for example. Brushwork interlining ('hachures') and ink washes further describe relief. Pencil rays intersect across the map, evidence of measurements taken by the surveyor between fixed triangulation points. Dawson, Robert

Towyn

1 : 31680 The lack of shading to describe relief indicates that this is an outline drawing: the half-way stage between the original projection and the finished drawing. Towyn appears towards the bottom left of the surveyed area. Individual buildings are depicted in red ink, indicating they are made of stone. Trigonometrical stations are marked by a dot within a red triangle. At Taren Gadian, pencil lines can be seen radiating from the trigonometrical station, indicating the angular measurements the surveyor took from these points. A triangulation diagram on the reverse of the drawing enabled the draughtsman to plot topographical features precisely. Durrant , William R

Machynlleth

1 : 31680 .A triangulation diagram appears on the reverse of this drawing. This enabled the draughtsman to plot features of the landscape precisely. There is no shading to describe relief, suggesting the drawing is an intermediate,version,rather than,the finished map. Trigonometrical stations are marked by a dot within a triangle., Some pencil lines can be seen radiating from these, indicating the angular measurements taken from these points., Hughes, Herbert J

Tremadoc

1 : 31680 This plan by Robert Dawson,covers a coastal section of the Lleyn Peninsula in,Caenarvonshire. The drawing is formally titled at the top left margin and the area of the land is recorded,as 126.21,square miles. Archaeological sites are noted in gothic script., Colour washes are combined with numerical annotations,to indicate the relative relief and,height of hills. Dawson, Robert
