Some survivals are names of major topographical features - rivers, hills and forests - and all of these must always have had names, so you can legitimately contrast rivers-called-something-in-British with rivers-called-something-in-English as two mutually exclusive divisions of a defined total set. It's a pity that Kenneth Jackson's map doesn't include non-Celtic river names in this way.

I have a non-copyrighted database of map elements that might do with some work. I suspect the density of rivers displayed might be a little overwhelming on a map the size of that on LHEB p 220.
