Description:
This map of the catchment of the River Nith, together with a small part of southeast Kirkcudbright, was compiled by Robert Gordon of Straloch (1580-1661) and is dated May 1644. Apart from southeast Kirkcudbright, the map derives from a manuscript map of Nithsdale by Timothy Pont now in the National Library of Scotland and compiled from observations on the ground in the last two decades of the sixteenth century. This is, however, a reduction of Pont's map, both in overall size and in content, omitting some of Pont's named features. Furthermore, it includes fewer named features than the map entitled NITHIA published by Blaeu in his 'Atlas Novus' of 1654, which also derives from the extant Pont map.
