Townlands in County Louth
"Digital Dindsenchas"

County Louth may be the smallest of Ireland's 32 counties ("the Wee County"), but its historical record has been disproportionately blessed by more than a century of contributors to the Journal of the County Louth Archaeological and Historical Society (JCLAHS). For that reason, Louth's 676 townlands may be the best documented of those in any county. Unfortunately, the JCLAHS is available in a limited number of libraries worldwide, and therefore very little of that information has made it onto the Internet. These maps, and the accompanying townland descriptions, are an effort to make some of those gems of local lore more accessible. Descriptions of townlands and meaning of names (seen by clicking on a townland in a map) are based on Stubbs ( 1908, 1909, 1910, 1911). Links are also provided to other information in the JCLAHS or available online.

Google Maps gives us a new way to share geographic information about our ancestors. The maps linked below are displayed in Google Maps, which means that they are not "just for looking". These maps allow to you to download a KML file which can then be opened in Google Earth and edited to match your own needs. For example, you could make a map using color coding to show when your ancestors lived in various townlands. Note that Google Maps has the limitation of showing only a dozen townlands at a time, then you must click on "Next Page" to see the next dozen townlands. Therefore, for the few civil parishes that have more than a dozen townlands, viewing the KML file in Google Earth is the only way to see all the townlands at once.
