Russian, i.e. pre-1917 revolution) and Soviet maps need some attention, as both Russian and Soviet cartography had a relatively long presence on territory of Poland, Central and Eastern Europe and left a strong mark on development of cartography in the whole region. Those maps however, are in short supply, both as scans and as hard copies in libraries and archives, in no small part due to the unparalleled secrecy Russian and Soviet authorities imposed over accurate mapping of their their territories and of those within their interest. We will try to, while focused on our own interest, scan and present whatever maps we have come across. The number of scans is, currently, no more than perhaps 130 sheets which span almost 100 years and several scales. This is miniscule compared with the massive number Russian and Soviet maps produced; consider this: the territory of post-World War 2 Poland alone is covered by no less than 2000+ Soviet 1:50,000 maps. Currently we can't provide index sheets to the map samples available, we will however try to get hold of them. In time, when we have received more maps and more information, we will add them to this page. |

Iinformation after: http://zecernia.com/html/?p=203 on main Russian map types in (pre-1918) Poland:
Russian maps, the so-called “wiorstówki” (verst-based maps)
Originally the Russians began making topographic survey in the territory of current Poland in 1880 and the scale chosen was 1:21,000 (half-verst), but to speed slow progress, 1908, the scale was reduced to 1:42,000. After the end of World War 1 in 1918, Polish Instytut Wojskowo-Geograficzny (later WIG) did not receive any of those surveys from the Soviet state, but it managed to collect a substantial number of map sheets. They had been well-printed and preserved and as paper quality was excellent, mechanical distortion (paper shrinkage or elongation) was very small.
Due to complicated nature of triangulation network(s), the main problem encountered was cartometric accuracy, i.e. how accurately the distances between objects on the maps reflect the real-terrain distances. WIG cartographers in Poland used those Russian maps for quite some time and they were the core material on which new Polish detailed maps in 1:25,000 scale from the former Russian partition of Poland.
Half-, one- and two-verst-maps were prepared in Müffling polyhedric projection. The scale followed a system of units used in Russia (inches and versts), where 1 verst = 1066.8 meters), and the longitude was measured from Pulkovo meridian.
Half-verst maps (1 inch on the map equals 0.5 verst / 533.4 m on the ground), which was the original topographic table survey in scale 1:21,000 on the territory of the former Królestwo Kongresowe (Congress Poland), prepared in 1880-1912. Prior to WW1 a black-and-white map, a copy of a table was prepared. Altitude was presented by countour lines. Sheet size: 5’ of latitude and 9’ of longitude. The survey covered the area between the western border of the Russian partition and, approximately, the meridian in the area of Równe (Rivne, currently Western Ukraine), in Volhynia.
Jednowiorstówka (One-verst map) scale 1:42,000 is a map from an original, reduced scale survey done between 1899 - 1913. It was caused by a pressure to increase the speed of field surveying. Some terrain detail, considered less vital, were ignored, for the sake of time-saving. Black-and-white map (with brown contour lines) based on topographic table survey and photomechanical reduction of plane-table survey in 1:21,000 scale. Sheet size: 10’ of latitude and 15’ of longitude.
Dwuwiorstówka (Two-verst-map) Novaya Topograficheskaya Karta Sapadnoy Rossii 1:84,000, New Topographic Map of Western Russia), produced from 1883 onwards, based on original table survey, scale 1:21,000 or1:42.000. Two-colour, contour lines in brown, map information in black Sheets of this map tap covered 15’ of latitude and 27’ of longitude. This map had a direct influence over the work of WIG and was used as a base material wherever more detailed maps were not available
Trzywiorstówka(Three-verst-map) (Wojenno-Topografitcheskaya Karta Yewropeyskoj Rossii 1:126,000, Military-topographic map of the European Russian) was made in 1845 - 1889 on the Bonne projection, based on the Walbeck ellipsoid. The map was produced in black-and-white only, features of terrain and altitude presented in hachures. Sheet size: 20’ of latitude and 20’ of longitude. By 1926 it was the basic map used by Polish topographers for a revision of mapping of the area of Polesie, currently in Belarus, Ukraine and Russia), as it was the only relatively accurate map of this area. In total 505 sheets (61 x 45 cm) were prepared.
Dziesięciowiorstówka (Ten-verst-map) scale 1:420,000 it was updated and re-printed until
1930s in 3 colours, despite the scale it appears to be, at times, more
accurate than the 1:126,000 map. In total 168 sheets (67 x 52 cm) were
printed. This map was reproduced by German cartography prior and during
WW1, re-scaled to 1:300,000, where more detailed maps were unavailable.
Again, prior to the German attack on the Soviet Union, the updated
versions of the (now) Soviet 1:420,000 maps were rescaled to 1:300,000.
Later editions of German maps were based on captured Soviet maps
(1:100,000 and 1:200,000) scale.
Dwudziestopięciowiorstówka (Twenty-five-Verst-Map) (scale i 1:1 050,000) , as with the 10-verst map, it was not used by WIG when new military and civilian maps were drawn.
Russian measurement units: 1 Russian inch = 2.54 cm and, precisely 2.53995 cm) 1 foot = 12 inches = 30.48 cm 1 step = 28 inches = 71.12 cm 1 fathom = 3 steps = 7 feet = 84 inches = 2.1336 m 1 verst = 500 fathoms = 42000 inches = 1.06678 km 1 mile = 8 versts = 8.53431 km

First two Russian maps which are based on / copies of maps by the neighbouring states.
A copy of German "Karte des Deutschen Reiches", scale 1:100,000. The maps is somewhat odd, as it consists of two sheets put together, vertically, (No 166 Osterode (Ostróda) and 198 Gilgenburg (Dąbrówno). File size is approx. 17.6 Mb. The map is not very legible, as is always the case with re-prints, amplified by the fact that the original German map uses hachures a lot. Date of the Russian edition 1913
KDR 166 Osterode in Ost-Pr. + 198 Gilgenburg
A copy ("enhanced" of an Austro-Hungarian 1:75,000 map showing one of the border
areas between the Imperial Russia and Austro-Hungary, near Sandomierz, Poland.
Interesting overprints with place-names in cyrilic and outlines of roads and
railway lines. 400 dpi,
approx. 14 Mb.

Soviet maps (in metric scales)
Please note: the way maps are laid out on Soviet maps is still used / seen in all military maps printed in Poland from 1945 - 1990. As we do not have an original, Soviet index sheet from 1930s - 1940s, we provide, as a reference, Polish index sheet from approx. 1970 - 1980. File size is approx. 5 Mb, and the sheet covers both Poland and Northerna and Western Europe. Please note that the sheets are written in Latin alphabet, not Cyrilic. You will find a "conversion" below.

As most place-names and sheet titles were written in Soviet maps in phonetic transcription, i.e. what a place-name would be known as / pronnounce in the Soviet Union, we have, to make it easier to identify the area, provided Polish / Latin equivalents of place-names (towns, cities, etc).
Soviet map 1:25 000
Unfortunately we do not have any scans of maps in this scale, other than one sheet. It is very interesting in one sense, as it shows a section of Warsaw and it was printed on 8 September 1944. On the other hand, as a map, it is nothing better than a magnified section of a Soviet 1:50,000 map (which we don't have anyway).

1:50,000 Soviet maps prepared by ГЕНЕРАЛЬНЫЙ ШТАБ КРАСНОЙ АРМИИ (General Staff of the Red Army), between 1935 - 1945 (obivously those maps were made later on too, but those later editions are beyond the scope of our interest for now). The sheets were based, depending on the area covered, on Polish 1:100,000 maps, elsewhere German maps (Messtischblatt 1:25,000 and Grossblatt / KDR 1:100,000), and earlier Russian (Imperial) maps in various scales, from 1:21,000 to 1:42,000.
