BOOK FORMAT

By L. J. Richards

The maps in this atlas are of great value to those researching families or history in Ireland. The atlas illustrates Ireland as it was known at the end of the 19th century, and for many decades prior, defining boundaries of provinces, counties, baronies, and parishes and identifying villages, towns, cities and landmarks.

The maps are reproduced in high-definition black and white. Produced in a 13 X 19" format, the maps can be zoomed into for close inspection on your computer screen. 400% magnification provides very clear detail. The maps can also be printed.

The "Combined Geographical Directory and Classified Index" lists all known places and directs the reader to the map that the place appears on, and the co-ordinates of the place on the map. More than just the names of municipalities, the index lists castles, churches, cottages, courts, houses, islands, junctions, lakes, baronies, heads (as in a place), mountains, parishes, points, rocks (as in a place), rivers, schools, and stations. This extensive index is organized alphabetically, is 10 columns wide and 21 pages long. Each page is 13 X 19". All that to say that it is hard to imagine that any place went un-indexed. 

The final page is an alphabetical list of those who contributed to the publication, including their names, residence (most being a city and state or a county in Ireland) and nativity (most being a city and state or a county in Ireland).
