This is a slightly wider view of the previous area, again showing the Lincoln edge and low-lying land west towards the River Trent. This time using an (old) bit of GetMapping aerial photography with overlay to pick out some details (inconveniently stopping at the County boundary in the case of the Fosse Way Roman road, I note). Google 'technology evangelist' Ed Parsons reportedly once said he disliked cartographers, “more than anyone in the world”, but I'm afraid I'd have to agree that simply taking a photo of the earth's surface (or a street) isn't the same as creating a map (hence the proliferation of layers and options within google maps over the years). I think the map version actually works better here.
