This shows several attempts to position the river, and corrections are made to the river position near Lessines and just below Grammont; the map is covered with 31 mm copying squares which are not very carefully drawn.
The map extends from Schendelbeck (Schendelbeke 50°47'55'N 03°53'55'E) in the north to Lessines in the south, and from Gouy (Ghoy 50°43'42'N 03°48'35'E) in the west to Onckerzele (Onkerzele 50°46'55'N 03°54'41'E) in the east.
