Gorgeous resolution on that image – very crisp and in-depth. I always love historical content like this on the subreddit. Thanks for the upload.
Yuuuup Tallagh
Ireland had less of a booty back then.
Interesting the towns that get mentioned and those that are not: In south county Dublin we have Tallaght (makes sense) and Old Bawn.
Also, I have never seen Bollock before.
He ran away with himself with Lough Erne.
Surprisingly accurate nonetheless. Thanks for posting!
I’m going to assume that Coleck on the Northside of Dublin is actually Coolock.
Edit : also interesting to see Palmerstown spelled as Palmerstone
Brilliant
Was Gaeilge not the language used back then?
It’s fascinating seeing old timey names for places
A lot of the prominent place names, that don’t seem to reflect any great significant town today, map to the names of the baronies, as was the style at the time:
Clare was part of Connacht until 1639 and even later maps seemed unsure where to put it. It is west of the Shannon after all.
Stupid map, I dont see Intel on it

Amazing detail
I think this map is from 1755 as opposed to 1680, unless the author drew it aged two.
Went to look for my hometown and realised it wasn’t founded when this map was put together.
I found my Parish straight away, still spelled the same, even shows the mountain on my road
My townland which unless you like in a 5km of it, you probably would never have heard of, is on that map-did we….did we used to be like…..something? We’ve got a church and a tiny national school and were doing well at that, how the hell did we end up on a map?
Honestly how they managed that in the past blows my mind
Wait Leitrim is in east Clare ?
Lovely map.
Thanks for uploading the high-res map.
This map isn’t accurate enough for me. The silly German misspelt a name near the very top
