Newcastle-in-Emlyn

1 : 31680 This plan of North Carmarthenshire shows the Teify Valley at the top, with settlements, enclosed farmland and densely wooded areas dominating the valley landscape. Mynydd Llanllwni and Pencarreg depicted at the bottom of the sheet form the valley's distinctive backdrop. Rising steeply from the valley, the rounded and open plateau summit of Mynydd Llanllwni contains extensive areas of moorland and common land, represented by open dots on the plan. Budgen, Thomas

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

Capel Bettws

1 : 31680 Robert Dawson is author of this drawing, which shows west Wales from Carmarthenshire to Cardigan Bay. One of the best surveyors and draughtsmen, Dawson was employed on the Ordnance Survey for over forty years, also working as an instructor. Below the formal title of the plan, in the top left margin, is an area calculation in black ink. Brushwork interlinging ('hachuring') and colour washes depicting relief are combined with numerical annotations ('spot heights') describing the height of the land. Those altitudes noted in red ink are trigonometrically ascertained; those in black are estimated. Dawson, Robert

Lampeter

1 : 31680 This plan of Cardigan Bay and part of the county of Cardiganshire shows Lampeter and other settlements at lower left along the River Teify Valley. Pointed rocks below sharp cliffs, characteristic of the Cardiganshire coastline, are illustrated in elevation. Budgen, Thomas

Llandovery(002OSD000000021U00147000)

1 : 31680 This plan of part of East Carmarthenshire and West Pembrokeshire shows the county border as a red line near the right margin of the sheet. A table above the plan gives trigonometrical data. Triangulation,lines in pencil are clearly visible outside the surveyed area. Colour washes are used to indicate relief, with numbers at the summit of inclines giving their altitude in feet. 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

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
