The Draining of the Fens, by Eric Ash informed Annie Proulx’s Bog, Fen & Swamp.
Fenland #Geography: peat fens, silt #marshes, & meandering #rivers:
The region in #England known today as the #Fens or the #fenlands occupies a large,
crescent-shaped area of land
... Wedged between elevated areas of clay, chalk, & limestone, the Fens themselves rest on a sunken bed of clay that was once part of the #NorthSea floor

These two are probably the coolest of the bunch, and go together. These depict the before and after #draingage of he #Fens or #Fenlands in #Linclonshire, #Cambridgeshire, #Suffolk, and #Norfolk. These #maps show how extensive these works were. You can imagine the ecological consequences that are still impacting us today. /11
