- Statement
- The 1:250k Superficial Geological Map of Northern Ireland was compiled by the Geological Survey of Northern Ireland and published in 1991. The 1:250K Bedrock Geology map of Northern Ireland was compiled by the Geological Survey of Northern Ireland and published in 1997. The map was compiled from larger scale maps and may involve some generalization of the geology. It was in part derived from the 1:63 360 and 1:50 000 maps of the Geological Survey of Northern Ireland and the 1:100 000 maps of the Geological Survey of Ireland. Additional information was provided by University of St Andrews, University of Birmingham, The Queen’s University of Belfast and the University of Sheffield. Digital datasets were digitised from the published maps in December 2000. Revised for positional accuracy in September 2009.
