This is a drawing of an estate garden layout. The detailed cartographic illustration depicts an estate with structured pathways winding through a variety of circular and rectangular gardens and open spaces. The central highlight of the landscape is a circular garden arranged with various colored plants and flowers. This garden design is encircled by a path which intersects with other smaller pathways leading to additional garden features and structures, like a main building, and two smaller adjacent structures. The depiction includes forests of dense trees, open grassy fields, and carefully spaced trees of varying species and sizes. A scale measurement is present at the bottom, labeled “The Ingham Estate - The Blackwell Survey 1860” at the base.
