| Description | Point representation of settlement icons connected to a red line. The layer gough_way_stations contains observations on 179 settlements identified by an icon connected to a red line on the Gough Map as a Point feature, here termed as ‘way stations’. Not all settlement names were written down by the map's anonymous author or authors, and others have since become illegible. Identifications have been proposed for all way stations, however, by successive editors of the map (see in particular the Parson and the Linguistic Geographies project editions) and uncertainty is indicated in the ‘legibility’ attribute field. | ||

| Description | Schematic MultiLineString representation of the red lines marked on the Gough Map. The layer gough_red_lines contains observations on 188 connecting lines, as marked with red ink on the map between different settlements, as a MultiLineString feature. Again, some lines are badly faded and the database follows the conventions established in the scholarship for identifying them. Most routes are accompanied by Roman numerals written in red ink. These probably marked the distance between the different settlements in 'computed miles', or rough popular estimates of the distance; the unit of measurement is unclear, but may be the old French mile equivalent to approximately 2 km (Stenton 1936; Millea 2007). | ||

| Description | Ground-truthed MultiLineString representation of the historical routeways or roads that match the red lines. The layer gough_routes contains observations on 455 routeway lines as a MultiLineString feature. These lines match the red lines on the map to historical routes and roads, as identified from place-name, archaeological, documentary and historical cartographic evidence. | ||
