- Synopsis
- This image shows a small enlarged portion of a map of a hilly area with a steep valley. There is a locator dot shown, which will be at the top left of the page when the image is the correct way up. The valley comes from the left of the page and goes downhill across the page to the right. The shape of the valley is shown by fine dashed lines (brown on the large print image) which are contour lines. Each line represents a different height and four are marked by a number, which is their height above sea level in metres. Where the lines are close together the slope is very steep. There is a stream that comes from the left and follows the bottom of the valley to the right. It is shown as a thick line (blue on the large print image). A side stream comes from the bottom left of the image and joins the other stream. At the bottom centre and left there are some crags shown as an irregular line. Three contours stop as they get to the crags because the hill is nearly vertical, the lines are replaced with the crag symbols. Where the side stream crosses the crag there is a waterfall marked. Coming from the right side of the crag and going up the page are some dots. These represent a scree slope (a mass of small stones on the hillside). In the top left of the image is part of a forest shown as a textured area (green on the large print area). It has a regular pattern of some symbols like small double headed arrows representing coniferous trees. The edges are straight and angular, suggesting it is a planted commercial forest. The area to the right, in the centre and top right of the image has a number of a small groups of dots arranged in a short horizontal lines. This indicates the area is heathland. All around the map section are numbers. These are grid reference numbers.
