There were four districts south of the River Thames that might have interested Snow-#25, St. Saviour, Southwark; #26, St. Olave, Southwark; #27, Bermondsey; #28, St. George, Southwark; and #29, Newington. The dotted lines indicated where cross-sections were taken for showing elevation above the high-water mark on the River Thames. Places with "bad ventilation," "no drainage," "open sewer," and "overcrowding" were also marked on the map (GBH, Report on Cholera, 1848-49, appendix B, opposite 200).
