Description: 
This manuscript map is bounded on the north and east by the River Doon. On the south, the map includes parts of the catchments of the Water of Assel and the River Stinchar. The map centres on the Water of Girvan, which is shown in its entirety. The map overlaps Blaeu's CARRICTA Meridionalis in the south, but the content of the two maps in the area of overlap is not identical. Several castles appear prominently along the valley of the Water of Girvan. The map was compiled from observation on the ground by Timothy Pont in the last two decades of the sixteenth century. It was engraved in Amsterdam, for publication in Blaeu's Atlas Novus, first published in 1654.
