29th May 2025 - mapster update (1-verst maps)
1
We've added second, somewhat larger (approx. 1300 sheets) part of
Russian & Soviet 1:42 000 (one-verst) set of maps from the Library
of Congress. Please note that, while the number of sheets is large, a
significant part of it are various print runs of the same sheets
(sometimes up to 5), or doubles. Approximately half of the number is
post-WW1, Soviet re-editions (1927 - 1939), while of the rest, approx.
90% are pre-1917 Russian (Empire) sheets that were orignally, held in
'Archiwum WIG'.
This 2nd batch of 1:42,000 maps is most likely the last one from the
US-held collections and missing sheets will need to be
found in (friendly) libraries and archives in Europe.
Still to process in this scale: approx. 200 scans dated 1919 - 1921,
roughly from the area of Don river, a small number (several perhaps),
dated 1930s from the area around Kursk and some 60 sheets, also from
that period, from Transcaucasia. Without index sheets in mapster,
these sheets will be added to map lists.
Please note: numbering of one-verst maps was somewhat 'irregular',
particularly by 1917, and some sheet display, instead of regular,
numbering for half-verst maps (1:21,000) and / or two-verst (1:84 000).
If you see any errors, e.g. a sheet is found in the wrong 'slot' in
mapster index sheet, please let us know, as our errors might later be
multiplied by other systems.
