Re the term 'landhook' found on an old map - what date ? what country ?
Surely the meaning of the term will depend on the context. If it really was
on an old 17th century or 18th century map then it probably refers to the
hook of land such as a sandspit. If it was a cadastral map showing landownership
then I presume it would refer to the funny zigzag line to show ownership of
several lots. Is the latter defined in a dictionary or used in any of the
atlas introductions as adefining term ?    Joan Winearls, U of Toronto Lib

        RE:  LANDHOOK.
 
        Did I miss something?  Did anyone with the answer give a citation
        to the source of information (definition)?  Dictionary/glossary/...
        If you have, I would appreciate.
        Thanks.
