There is a locator dot shown, which will be at the top left of the page when the image is the correct way up. A key at the top left of the tactile page shows the colours used on the flag. The flag, at the top of the page, has three horizontal stripes and an image of the sun with a face at the centre of the flag. The enlarged image of the sun is at the bottom of the page. It shows the sun with a human face looking towards you. There are rays of light radiating out from the circle of the sun.
Features on Maps - Upland (UEB contracted)
by RnibThis 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.

Features on Maps - Lowland (UEB uncontracted)
by RnibThis image shows a small enlarged portion of a map of a hamlet with some roads and a river. 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 hamlet is a textured area in the centre of the image. There are four buildings separate from the continuous mass of the hamlet. One up and down, and one to the right and left. The one to the left is a Pub. There is a brown B road which goes from the top left, through the centre of the hamlet, to the bottom right of the page. A minor (yellow) road goes from the left to the top right of the image. It forms a crossroad with the B road in the centre of the hamlet. There is a railway line just up from, and running parallel to the minor road. It is a thinner black line. Where it starts in the top left of the image it is in a cutting shown by fine lines at 90 degrees to the track and enclosed in a line. In the middle of the section of railway shown it crosses and goes over the B road by bridge. As it goes off the image it is on an embankment shown by fine lines at 90 degrees to the track and not enclosed in a line. A wide river goes from the bottom left of the image and gently wiggles across to the right centre of the image. Halfway along, the B road goes over the river by bridge. Just up from the bridge is a church marked by a symbol of a square and a cross. On the right of the image is part of a wood shown as a textured area (green on the large print area). It has a pattern of five tree-like symbols rounded at the top with a small line at the bottom. They represent deciduous trees. There are three fine dashed lines (brown on the large print image) which are contour lines going from left to right. Each line represents a different height above sea level and the one in the middle and in the top of the image are marked by a number, which is their height above sea level in metres. The unmarked contour line at the bottom of the page will have the same value as the one on the other side of the river, as they are on different sides of a gentle valley. All around the map section are numbers. These are grid reference numbers.

Features of a River Basin (UEB contracted)
by RnibThis page has two views of a river valley, a cross section in the top and a plan in the bottom of the page. Each image has an image border and the river flows from left to right. There is a locator dot shown, which will be at the top left of the page when the image is the correct way up. In the cross section view there is a large hill on the left and the land slopes down to the right. A small piece of sea is shown on the right. In the plan view there are four streams which join together on the left of the page. They form a small river which goes right into a lake in the centre of the image. The river leaves the right side of the lake, gets wider and meanders to the mouth of the river and then to the sea, which is on the right of the page.

Farming Changes (UEB uncontracted)
by RnibThese pages show a map of a farm shown at different times. It is a multi-page image set on two pages. There is a locator dot shown on each page, which will be at the top left when the image is the correct way up. Both images are surrounded by an image border. Farm and farmland in the 1940s: The farm buildings are in the bottom centre of the page. There is a narrow lane coming from the bottom right of the page diagonally up, past the farmyard on the left and the farmhouse on the right to the top left of the page. Just before the farmhouse a second lane goes right to the top right of the page. The lanes are narrow and wiggly. From the top left of the page a stream goes down the page in a very meandering course. It flows through a boggy water meadow, under the lane via a narrow humpback bridge to the left centre of the page. There is a wood on the right of the lane where the lane appears in the bottom of the page. Following the lane up there are two trees on the right and a small wood in the corner of a field just before the farmyard. There are other trees dotted around in the fields next to hedges. There are three more woods in the bottom left quarter of the page. There are four cart horses shown as small ovals in the small field to the left of the farmyard. The farmyard buildings are low and made traditionally from red brick with slate roofs. Apart from the water meadow the fields are all small. Farm and farmland in the 2000s: This image shows the same piece of land sixty years later. The lane coming from the bottom of the page is now a wider road with some of the bends taken out. The lane going to the top left is slightly wider and straighter. The narrow humpback bridge has been replaced with a wider, flat concrete bridge. The farm is in the same place but the farmhouse has been extended and the farmyard is bigger. The old farm buildings have been replaced with two large barns made from prefabricated sheets. There are two round silos and a silage compound of two units. The water meadow has been drained and reclaimed as farmland. The meandering stream has been realigned as a faster flowing drainage ditch. The fields are larger, many hedges and trees have been removed. In the centre top of the page a field has a small road going into it. This is now a campsite. There are a number of different sized, brightly coloured tents shown.

Example of Central Place Theory (large print)
by RnibThis is a simple labelled diagram created using the principles of Central Place Theory. This is a method of describing the number, location and size of human settlements in an urban environment. There is a locator dot shown, which will be at the top left of the page when the image is the correct way up. There is a small key in the top left of the page. The settlements are shown as hexagonal shapes. The large hexagon, C, represents a large town and the smaller hexagons represent smaller settlements within that area.
