    Either of the County Council websites will have something but this should get you started.

    DO you have a copy of the map that you are working off. I can tell you that Highlands is on the border in Drogheda.

    ALso Drogheda West Electorial Map shows the border http://www.louthcoco.ie/downloads/Elections2009/DroghedaWestSm.pdf and here is the Drogheda East map

    They are from a posting a few days ago on the site here.

    Doubt the councils will be much help, my place of business is on the Louth Meath border, our address is Louth, we pay our rates to Meath, our phone number is Meath 046, totally confusing!

    The boyne river forms the county boundary between Louth and Meath, at least from Drogheda to Navan...

    Wertz , i think you will find thats wrong as there are old county boundary stones that mark the county boundaries one of these is close to beamore,one out the Marsh rd, also Ballsgrove and most of rathmullan, Mary street and marion park , and Wheaton hall, all in Co Louth.

    Okay I'll take your word on it. I was pretty sure that's what I was told in school. I said navan above...that's obviously wrong (well inside meath), but the boyne in drogheda formed the county border.
    Odd that the internet is full of interactive maps yet there's no way of getting an accurate map of the county boundaries. OS maps are probably the only way to get this info.

    Pretty sure the meath welcome at gormanstown is the Dub/Meath border no?


    [edit] google throws up this:

    As far as I can see the southern extremity of the border lies at the boyne...maybe some of the markers on the marsh rd etc are due to shifts in the river's course over the centuries.
