Near the SE corner of this map sheet the canal appears briefly as a small northerly loop and then reappears heading generally in a NW and then W direction. It is principally passing through open countryside, with a few coal pits in the vicinity, on both the 1st edition of the OS 6-inch map (Lanarkshire 1864, sheet vii) and on the 2nd edition of the OS 6-inch map (Lanarkshire 1899, sheets viiSW and viiNW).
