The County of Galway, in the Province of Connaught, is bounded in the west by the Atlantic, north  by Mayo and Roscommon, east by Roscommon, King's county, and Tipperary and south  by Clare and Galway bay; contains 2593 square miles and is divided into 116 parishes.  The greater part is very fertile; but towards the north and west the soil is coarse. It abounds with rivers and lakes: of its rivers, the principal are the Shannon, the Suck, and the Blackwater: lakes, lough Corrib, lough Reagh, and lough Contra. Pop. 286,921. Chief town, Galway."

The map of County Cavan is colorised to show the distribution or settlement of the Darmody and Dermody families according to the International Genealogical Index and the Griffiths Valuation (which is detailed below).

The IGI and Griffiths Valuation have been grouped in Parish or Location areas rather than by name - this is to make it easier to see other possible connections to the family.
