This manuscript, known
as Pont 35 contains two separate maps, usually referred to as Pont 35(1)
and Pont 35(2). Pont 35(1), the larger of the maps, covers the whole of
the drainage basin of the River Nith. This is the area from the Solway
Firth in the south to the headwaters of the Nith near Cumnock in the north
west. In the north east is the head of the Water of Dunedyn (Duneaton
Water), in the parish of Crafordjhon (Crawfordjohn). The smaller
of the maps, Pont 35(2) is drawn at 180o to the larger map,
and shows the valley of the River Teviot from Hawick in the west to Ancrum
in the east, as well as the valley of the Ale Water from its confluence
with the River Teviot, near Ancrum, to Ashkirk in the west. In the north
east corner a short length of the River Tweed is shown. South of the River
Teviot, the drainage basin of the Rule Water is mapped.
