1. Introduction

This is contained in a PDF and can be viewed via this link.

2. Survey Index

The index map was drawn on a composite, consisting of the greater part of Hants 83 and the western third of Hants 84.  The former is a WD-only edition with the revisions of 1873 & 74 and with epd March 1879; the latter is (oddly) an ordinary sales edition.  The sheetlines drawn on it are not very accurate: the draughtsman has shown a northern fringe of (1) that is beyond (7) and (10).  The portion of Hants 84 is of a sales edition lacking the 1870s revisions: the area west of Eastney Fort is instructive, with development in progress on Hants 83 which does not continue across the sheet edge to Hants 84.  Compare also against the NLS copy (revised 1872-3) at https://maps.nls.uk/view/102343173.
