Title Shapefile of the Red Lines on the Gough Map
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).
