The Ordnance Survey of Ireland was succeeded by Ordnance Survey Ireland (OSi). Credits The original printed maps were created by the Ordnance Survey of Ireland. Arrangement note The maps are arranged in order of their sheet reference numbers. For example, to search or filter by subject for Queenstown maps, use the modern place name Cobh. Please note that modern place names are used in the subject headings in the records. Building types, such as mills, foundries, dye works, barracks, billiard rooms, galleries, tea houses, bull rings and Turkish baths, give an indication of the industrial and social activities of the population of the time. Other useful information includes the parish, barony, townland, ward and municipal boundaries which are all clearly marked. At street level, features include benchmarks, pillar boxes, public water pumps, troughs, hydrants, and lamp posts. The large scale at which they were surveyed means that details, such as the ground floor interior plans of public buildings from churches and banks to hospitals and railway terminals, can be viewed on the maps. The remainder were produced by enlargement of the 1/2500 maps between 18. Most are Town Plans which were surveyed at either five or ten foot to one mile scale between 18. Scope and content The collection contains maps for almost 150 cities, towns and villages in the Republic of Ireland.
