Belfast and vicinity town plan 1:2,500 — Sheet 129-15 [Black Mountain and Divis Transmission Station]
A Troubles-era British Army map of Black Mountain, prepared by the Royal Engineers and printed in November 1978, amid repeated IRA attacks on police and military personnel. Its military additions to the Ordnance Survey base include a key separating roofless ruins from habitable derelict buildings: potential concealment for gunmen, weapons or explosive devices. Archways identify covered passages, while telephone boxes and police stations receive separate symbols. The TV and VHF Relay Station is mapped with its enclosure, mast, buildings, tanks and access road; tracks and drains cross the surrounding uplands. Aerial photography and Headquarters Northern Ireland information supplied revisions. Orange roads, a 100-metre grid and “Limited Distribution” marking place this detailed terrain record firmly within the Army’s security-mapping programme.
