Does anyone know where I can purchase a good map of Fermanagh. I am looking for a map of Currghmore, civil parish of Drumkeeran. Thanks Lori
Hi Lori, I'm not sure where you live or whether you want to buy an old map or a current one. The four Ordnance Survey maps (1:50,000 scale), the standard British reference maps, that cover Fermanagh are as follows: Ordnance Survey of Northern Ireland ISBN 1-873819-30-7 Sheet 17 Lower Lough Erne ISBN 1-873819-15-3 Sheet 18 Enniskillen ISBN 1-873819-18-8 Sheet 26 Lough Allen ISBN 1-873819-19-6 Sheet 27 Upper Lough Erne These cost about 5 pounds sterling and should be orderable from any good bookshop worldwide. The four sheets form a grid, centred on Enniskillen, so you should be able to look at PRONI web site to locate your parish in Fermanagh and get the appropriate sheet. 17 18 x Enniskillen 26 27 Regards, Andrew. PS. There's also a tiny bit of Fernanagh on Sheet 12 but I don't know the details of that sheet. ----- Original Message ----- From: Lori Michael <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Saturday, February 10, 2001 4:06 PM Subject: Maps > Does anyone know where I can purchase a good map of Fermanagh.

And I can recommend the Ordnance Survey maps of England for anywhere you are looking. I bought several when I was in Wiltshire last October looking for ancestors, and I have found them to be great sources for looking for places, features, etc. They are on-line at: http://www.ordsvy.gov.uk/ and I have tried there for places in Fermanagh, but haven't had much luck, really, but I don't know how the on-line maps compare to the one you can buy. On their site, there is a link to "Where to buy", where you can enter you country, including the US, so you can find a place to get them. I would appreciate any details about the details of the maps for the far eastern parts, bordering Monaghan, parish of Clones, and if there is a map of similar quality for this county of the Republic, as the OS doesn't have these maps, from what I can tell.
