Link: Antrim Maps
« on: Sunday 22 March 09 12:18 GMT (UK) »
There are lots of Internet map sites. Here's a few that might be useful for Co. Antrim research:

Map of civil parishes:
http://applications.proni.gov.uk/geogindx/antr.htm

Some maps linked to Griffith's Valuation:
http://griffiths.askaboutireland.ie/gv4/gv_place_search_form.ph

To find townlands and parishes in Ireland: http://www.thecore.com/seanruad
Be sure to change default setting from 'exact match' to search for part of a word.

Administrative Division of Ireland: http://ireland.kiwicelts.com/irishMap/ireMap.html
This site can be hard to use at first and not complete for everywhere in Antrim but well worth persisting to see if the area you are interested in is included.

Dual Maps: www.mapchannels.com/DualMaps.aspx
Display two maps side-by-side for single location (Google Maps + Microsoft Virtual Earth Maps). Also includes new Google Street View option to view ground level imagery of Belfast.

Multimap: www.multimap.com/index.htm

Google Maps: http://maps.google.co.uk

Geograph project: www.geograph.org.uk
"The Geograph British Isles project aims to collect geographically representative photographs and information for every square kilometre of Great Britain and Ireland."

Vitual tours of Belfast places: www.belfastcitysightseeing.com/citytour/vt.htm
