The Map of Connections 3.1: Unofficial and previously unmapped Irish border crossings

I charted unofficial border-crossings along Ireland's border, those not found on any other map. <br/><br/>During many surveys of Ireland's border I discovered that it is often perforated. Gates are set in hedgerows for the convenience of farmers, stepping stones and community-built bridges span rivers, walkers’ routes and muddy by-ways go wherever they please. These kinds of connections have always been there, although I think it is fair to say that their numbers have increased during the Peace Process. Roads blocked or cratered during the Troubles are being re-connected at a rate too fast for the Ordnance Survey to keep up with. On the local level cross-border movement is quietly happening, unchecked and often unmapped, until now. <br/><br/>This map attempts to throw the borderline in perpendicular, showing it as a place of connection rather than division.
