Old Map of Ulster in 1611 by John Speed - Belfast, Derry, Carrickfergus Canoeing and Fishing Map This nostalgic railway chart makesCreated by John Speed and engraved by Jodocus Hondius in Amsterdam, this map of Ulster was first published in 1611 as part of Speed's Theatre of the Empire of Great Britaine, the first complete atlas of the British Isles ever assembled. It shows Ireland's northernmost province at a moment of enormous change, only a couple of years after the Ulster Plantation had begun settling English and Scottish colonists across the region under King James I.
