Transcription of the names on the map.
A transcription of the names is useful for two reasons. First, sometimes the words are not too easy to read on the scanned map. Second, you can search the transcription of names, then find the name on the map.
This list of names is given § by §. North of Charlton P.O., the town is §ed into north-south strips numbered 5 through 13. South of Charlton P.O., the town is §ed roughly into squares, numbered from 1 through 19, and one unnumbered §. The list begins in the north, from west to east, then in the south, both by § number.
