Louise, Since it's the lines appear a standard distance out from the center of the town, but may state the distance out from center, maybe the scale can be used to show how far apart the lines are? So at 1 kilometer away from center, the Bonnescher adjustment is so many meters, at 2 km..., at 3 km, and so on.

A portion of the map is shown in the attached image along with explanatory text. How would I describe this in the bibliographic record? Thanks!
