County Donegal - Townland Survey of the County of Donegal (1838)

County Donegal - Townland Survey of the County of Donegal (1838) A stunning Ordnance Survey Map of County Donegal first published in 1838, on a globally unprecedented scale of six inches to one mile, stretches along the entire massive and wild coastline from Ballyshannon to Lough Foyle, and along the borders with the counties of Derry, Tyrone, Fermanagh and back to Leitrim .Incorporating remarkable detail from within all of the parishes in areas of Inishowen , Boylagh , Raphoe , Kilmacrenan , Tirhugh , and Banagh. The backdrop events surrounding this very mapping of Donegal by the British Military Royal Sappers and Miners formed the background to Brian Friel's magnificent 1980 play Translations where a British Army Officer falls in love with a local girl in the small village of Ballybeg (Báile Beag, translated in Gaelic as meaning "small town") with tragic consequences.
