This paper examines how boundary delineations in Irish Free State cartography between 1922 and 1937 shaped regional political identity, with a focus on County Donegal and Northern Irish borderlands. Using previously unanalyzed surveyor notebooks from the Ordnance Survey of Ireland, Hart argues that cartographic ambiguity in six key border townlands directly contributed to localized disputes over maritime and upland jurisdiction. The paper concludes that interwar mapping practices had a longer half-life of political effect than previously recognized, lasting into the early 1960s.
