31 December 2012 - Old / New Year update

1 We have finally caught up with the Polish version of the website! And here are - somewhat overdue - Christmas presents received towards the end of this year:
A few interesting maps by WIG
1. Poligon RembertÃ³w , 1:25,000, dated 1929 (Rembertow military training ground)
2. Three sheets of WIG 1:25,000 maps from the area of Kresy (Belarus and Ukraine):
- P34 S38 G KopciÃ³wka (near Grodno / Grodna)
- P47 S41 B Smordwa and
- P47 S41 E PeÅ‚cza
3. MAPA SCHEMATYCZNA POLSKI Z GRANICAMI D.O.K. (1935 edition), 1:1 mln scale
- Full map, with hand-drawn add-ons on Poland's strategic industries, approx. 50 MB
- 2nd version of the above (map incomplete, but includes other hand-drawn information on industry)

Two town plans
- Plan Poznania, 1946, includig the reverse side (adverts and street names), sent in by one of our users
- an interesting German, WW2 plan, or - strictly speaking - a "Map of Radom and surroundings" dated 1944, scale 1:10,000, file size approx. 24 MB

Plus...
- Courtesy of WydziaÅ‚owe Archiwum Kartograficzne (Map Archive) of a Department of Geography and Geology, A. Mickiewicz University in Poland - we are able to show the first batch (68 scans) of a German 1:25,000 photo-map (Bildplan). More sheets should be scanned next year. The scans are available, temporarily (until they are moved to Mapster) - on this page.
- Promised Soviet 1:50,000 scans: something like 950 sheets - courtesy of University of Greifswald (plus about 50 of our own scans of the same map type). Please note - index sheet loads very, very slowly! - a "lighter" map list available here.
- One, rather rare, WW2 map of Sandomierz and surroundings, 1:50,000, dated 1944.
- A "Mapa KoÅ›cielna Galicji Wschodniej" (Parish map of East Galicia, scale 1:600 000)
- One, also rare, map, or perhaps a military drawing from the east front (WW1!), scale 1:10,000, Stara Dubrowa & Majdan. For those of you, curious where to find this place, we have been told it is east of Kovel, the Ukraine, and a larger map of this area (much less detailed, scale 1:100,000, by WIG) is Mielnica / Holoby (bottom-left section of the map).
See you next year!

Any reason I can't get the Polish maps 1:100,000 for Miory, Dryswiaty etc? I get the 404 error instead.

Hello: I do Polish Genealogy. I need a topo map of Poland with major cities which Iâ€™ve never been able to find on the WEB. It should show post partition Poland with an out line of pre-partition Pola

Can I get some guidance on the projection that WIG cartographers used on the 1 to 100,000 maps?
