Thanks. "stick with the boundary markings as they exist on the map sheets": if you scan the lake edges of e.g. Lough Neagh, Gara, Derravaragh, Allen etc. that have lowered lake levels the traced townland boundaries all now match the new lake level, so I think the map sheets have been ignored and new boundaries have been drawn. Maybe others who have been tracing lakes with dropped lake levels can comment?
