The 3D model of Glenamaddy: every building standing up, with the shops and services pinned

Glenamaddy, street by street

Four country roads meeting at a square in the old kingdom of Uí Díarmata, a turlough that dries to black limestone every year, and the Esker Ballroom of the showband years.

Glenamaddy is a village of 557 people, 49 km north-east of Galway city. This page is a working model of it: every one of its 876 buildings stands on the map above, and 80 shops, cafés, schools, churches and services have a page each, with the street, the hours where recorded, the nearest bus stop and car park, and a plan of the streets around it. Everything comes from open map data and says so.

How the model is built

The buildings are OpenStreetMap footprints, read on 2026-09-18, stood up to the height the map records or a plain two storeys where it records none. Streets, water and the base map come from the same project through OpenFreeMap. Places are the named shops, services and public buildings on the map; each has its own page.

A building takes the colour of the kind of place inside it: restaurants in red, pharmacies in green, schools in yellow. Nothing is invented to fill a gap: a missing fact is shown as missing, with a link to add it to the map. More about the model.
