The 1824 Giraldon-Bovinet and 1830 maps provide plenty of tantalizing clues to the locations of hundreds of early graves. However, both maps use the same numbering system which is different from the present division numbering system, and as a result I refer to those as “sections.” Given the six-year gap between the publication of the two maps there are several deviations (noted below).
See the previous post for additional information about the Giraldon-Bovinet maps.

| 1830 |
Divisions 1, 2 and 3 are in section 1 of map 1824; in map 1830 division 1 is section 2 and divisions 2 and 3 are section 1.
Division 4 is section 56 on both maps.
Divisions 5 and 6 do not yet exist on either map.
Division 7 is section 3, which includes the Jewish section.
Division 8 is section 4 and division 9 is section 5.
Division 10 is broken into sections 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 and 11. The old section 6 consists of graves in the lower left portion of D10, bordered by Chemin Père Eternel and Chemin de l’ancienne Porte (which no longer runs through the division) and Avenue Latérale du Sud, and extends roughly two-thirds of the way up the hill when it becomes section 7 bordered by Chemin Denon. Sections 8 and 9 are small and about midway across the D10 laterally and bordered by Chemin Denon. Section 10 consists of the lower middle section between 6 and 11 and bordered by Chemin du Coq. Finally, old section 11 consists of the left third or quarter of the D10 and bordered by Chemin Denon and then Chemin du Coq.
Division 11 is broken into two sections, 15 and 16, with the backside of the bosquet Delille being the approximate dividing line. Section 16 consists of the bosquet and faces D12 across Chemin Talma. Section 15 faces the lower portion of D13 along Chemin Méhul.
Division 12 is section 17.
Division 13 is broken into four distinct sections: 12, 13, 14 and 18. Sections 12 and 13 comprise what is today that part of D13 between Avenue Casimir Périer and Chemin Méhul. Section 14 is a small area between the Rond-Point and Chemin Méhul while section 18 is that part of the division between Avenue de la Chappelle and Chemin Méhul.
Division 14 is also in section 3.
Division 17 in broken into two sections, 19 and 20.
One of the more challenging sections is 21 which apparently includes present day divisions 16, 32, 33 and most of 34.
Section 22 includes the remainder of division 34, which centers on Ragon-Gillet.
Section 23 consists of division 31 and 36.
Section 24 (May 1824) consists of divisions 35 and 36.
Section 24 (May 1830) consists of division 38.
Section 25 (May 1824) consists of most of division 38.
Section 25 (May 1830, assumed) consists of division 35.
Section 26 consists of divisions 30, 37 part of 38 (?),
Section 27 is present-day division 18.
Division 19 consists of part of section 31 and 32.
Division 20 consists of sections 28, 30 (not shown on Map 1830) and part of 31.
Division 21 consists of section 29.
Section 32 is divided lengthwise by present-day Chemin des Chevres with the upper portion consisting of division 19 and the lower portion, along Avenue des Acacias, division 30.
Section 33 is division 27, section 34 is division 29, section 35 is division 28, section 36 is division 39, and section 37 is division 40.
Section 38 consists of divisions 35, 41 and 42.
Section 39 is division 43.
Section 40 is division 25, 41 is division 26, 42 is division 24, 43 is division 23 and section 44 is division 22.
Section 45 is division 51 and section 46 is division 50.
Section 47 consists of two divisions, 44 and 45, today separated by Chemin du Quinconce.
Section 48 consists of part of D46.
Section 49 consists of the rest of D46 (graves closes to the original wall, now the line separating D46 from D80), part of D80 and D47.
Section 50 is division 48.
Section 51 consists of division 49, which is today broken into two distinct sections, 1 and 2, separated by Chemin Casimir Delavigne.
Sections 52, 53 and 54 are divisions 52, 53 and 54 respectively.
Section 55 in the 1824 map is listed as fosses communes (but listed in the 1830 as concessions temporaire) and comprises divisions 56, 57 and 58.
Section 56 on both maps is division 4 (noted above).
Section 57 on both maps is division 59.
The 1830 map adds section 58 as concessions temporaire, which today includes parts of divisions 67 and 68, section 59, which today is division 60, sections 60 to 63 are listed as fosses communes while 64 is open land and section 65 would eventually comprise portions of future divisions 14, 5, 6 and 73.
