Map 2, the atlas reconstruction of Cork in 1842, allows us to see the accumulated impact of centuries of change. The medieval street spine remains, but reclamation and expansion have dramatically enlarged the urban landscape

Land reclamation was a major component of the urban morphology of Cork which can be seen through the maps of Phillips (1685), Carty (1726) and Rocque (1759)

The historical compilation map in the atlas brings these manuscript maps together, reconstructing Cork's development from c.625 to c.1750. It reveals how monastic, Hiberno-Norse, medieval and early modern landscapes combined to create the city we recognise today.

Speed's 1610 map highlights the relationship between settlement and water. Bridges, quays and channels linked Cork's different urban components, while the River Lee continued to dictate how and where the city could grow. #MapMonday #IHTA

Hardiman's maps of c. 1601 reveals the dense medieval core. North Main Street and South Main Street formed Cork's urban spine, with a web of lanes branching from them. The 1602 map shows Cork beginning to push beyond its medieval limits into the hinterland

The cartographic story begins with the 1545 Tower Map. Cork appears as a small walled settlement occupying islands surrounded by marshes and tidal channels. Water wasn't simply a backdrop, it shaped the city's entire form.

Few European cities were shaped so dramatically by water. Through maps spanning four centuries, we can trace how Cork grew between the channels of the River Lee.
