You can zoom and pan around the interactive map with the Control Bar (), by clicking/dragging on the map, or with the arrow, shift & control keys; the navigation thumb-nail shows the area covered in the detailed map.

Note that claims are located at the place where the loss cited in the claim was sustained. This is not necessarily the address of the Claimant – e.g. in Claim 89 Ralph Cutler is shown as living at Malin Bridge. However, he is claiming for loss of wages for where he worked, Ibbotson Brothers/Russell Street, so the map location is Russell Street. See Mapping the Claims for more information.
