Geography Hydrosphere Rivers on OS Maps: Worked Example[Date] Today I will: - Practise answering past paper questions relating to rivers on OS maps The map used is that of Upper Wharfedale which can be found free on courtesy of Digimap for Schools. Describe the physical characteristics of the main river on the map.

(DOES) Direction: The river is flowing south. Look at the direction of the tributaries or the height of the land. Geography Hydrosphere Ordnance Survey © Crown Copyright and Database Right An Ordnance Survey/EDINA supplied service.

Geography Hydrosphere (COTTON) Course: Upper to middle course. This one I quite difficult to tell. Ordnance Survey © Crown Copyright and Database Right An Ordnance Survey/EDINA supplied service.

Geography Hydrosphere (WOOL) Width: The river is still quite narrow. The valley varies in width at 1 it is very narrow and 2 around 700m wide (1 box = 1km). 1 2 Ordnance Survey © Crown Copyright and Database Right An Ordnance Survey/EDINA supplied service.
