Maps of Ireland - 1837 Counties Antrim, Armagh, Carlow, Cavan, Clare, Cork, Donegal, Down, Dublin, Fermanagh, Galway, Kerry, Kildare, Kilkenny, Kings County / Offaly, Leitrim, Limerick, Londonderry, Longford, Louth, Mayo, Meath, Monaghan, Queens County / Laois, Roscommon, Sligo, Tipperary, Tyrone, Waterford, West Meath, Wexford, Wicklow Taken from: "Lewis's Atlas, comprising the Counties of Ireland"  Published in London by S. Lewis & Co. 87 Aldersgate Street,  27th of September 1837.

This series of maps were made in 1837, 
10 years before the disaster of the "Great Famine" era around 1847.

This is a particularly significant time in Ireland's history at the period of the historically highest population and immediately prior to the great exodus of Ireland's population - in particular to the United States.

The original map image size is approx. 200 x 250mm.

The maps on this site are taken from a very high resolution digital scan of the originals. They are available for purchase use in genealogy and as decorative prints for mounting and display. Each particular county page has a smaller picture of the map and a link to a larger scale version viewable online for academic use.

Reproduction prints are on heavyweight watercolour paper. Archival quality paper and inks have been used, the combination of which gives an estimated lifespan of at least 75 years.

The map is generally very clear and colours bright, Some staining and antique discolouration as would be expected of a 166 year old document are faithfully reproduced and add to the atmosphere of the reproduction prints.
