This plan details a section of the Welland and Nene Valleys running through Cambridgeshire and Lincolnshire. It depicts the system of man-made drains, ditches and sluices for draining the lowland area between Peterborough and Ely, offering a navigable route to the fenland rivers. Milton Park at the bottom right is a good example of 18th-century formal parkland, with grass, trees and lakes well detailed.
