A place name ending in 'ford' beside a river crossing is an example of

  • A.lettering supporting the geometric evidence
  • B.a generalisation applied by the cartographer
  • C.an error introduced during digitising
  • D.a symbol drawn off its true scale

Answer: A

Correct answer: lettering supporting the geometric evidence

Place names carry historical information that the symbols do not. A name ending in ford beside a river crossing confirms what the geometry already suggests, and elements such as bridge, mouth, hill and market do the same - which is why names are read as evidence rather than skipped over as labels.
