approx. 20 sheets (far from complete out of about 60,
according to the index) of Polish-Czechoslovak border maps,
1:25,000 scale, probably a WIG copy from around
1920, possibly based on maps made during the process of border
delimitation. No index in mapster, maps are presented only as a list,
with a hand-drawn index (possibly made in the Library of
Congress) shown below the list. We know nothing else.
23 sheets of the Umgebungskarte Sudsha (Bildplankarte) 1:25
000 (Map of the Sudzha area). Indeed, yes, it is *that*
Sudzha (one sheet may have been lost, hopefully we will be able to scan
it in the
future). These are photomaps, one of German
cartographic, WW2 experiments around 1942/43 (a dozen or so larger
sheets of
this map type, e.g. from areas north of Kyiv in Ukraine, Voronezh in
Russia, and a few
others such as Staraya Russa, can be found on the list of German maps
1:25
000 Russland. To search use keyword 'Bildplankarte'.
Four sheets of the German variant of the Weltkarte 1:1 million
map,
in the “Baustoffkarte des europäischen Russland”
version — with overprints of mineral deposits, specifically building
materials — both composite and single sheets are available.
Unfortunately, several
sheets were so large that they would not fit on the scanner.
two German maps from the continuation series of the
Austro-Hungarian
Generalkarte von Mitteleuropa, 1:200
000. The sheets are quite interesting; the Mogilev-Podolsky
sheet contains handwritten annotations and a rather curious 'sticker'
on reverse side.
The 'Katarszino' sheet belongs to the Mil-Geo Karte von Rumänien
sub-series. Unfortunately, the sheets of this particular Mil-Geo Karte
series are so large, including their wide margins, that they do not fit
on a 36-inch
scanner, so only one rather small sheet could be scanned.
one sheet of the German Rußland 1:25 000 (N-36-13-B),
only for reference, as it is no more than just an enlarged fragment of
a 1:50,000
map.
an American index map made in 1968 for the German map series
BEFESTIGUNGSKARTE RUMÄNIEN 1:100,000
(Map of the Fortifications of Romania).
This series consists of a few dozens of sheets, with very interesting
fortification
overprints, though in rather poor condition (multiple tears and folds).
They MIGHT fit
on the scanner, but other maps are higher on our priority list so these
ones need to wait their turn — perhaps some time in the next decade?
a large map, or rather a sketch, at a scale of 1:100,000 titled
Karte der Düna-Übergänge und ihrer
Zufahrtswege im Abschnitt Druja-Jekabpils (Map of Dvina
crossings and their access roads in the Druja – Jekabpils section).
Although the map appears under its own call number, it may be
part of report by the Wehrgeologie unit 11 on water
obstacles in this area. The report is in two parts, but unfortunately,
because of its very fragile condition (stitched, glued with
‘transparent’
tape, crumbling pages, with maps, both both small and large, glue in),
it cannot be scanned
even with a contactless scanner. The materials were photographed, and
despite the poor presentation, we will try to make them available as a
PDF file.
a Russian map 'Topograficheskaya karta okrestnosti m.
Sekuriany' (a descriptive title, probably assigned in the
Library of Congress). It dates from around 1840, scale approximately
1:126,000 (three-verst). The city is now called Sokiriany (Сокиряни),
located roughly
east/southeast of Kamianets-Podilskyi (on the southern side of the
Dniester). For those interested... see Google Maps.
a Russian map at a scale of 1:1,680,000 from 1903 with the
charming
title КАРТА МАЛОРОССIИ (Map of
Malorossiya). The name, might be misleading, 'Malorossiya' is an
outdated term peddled recently through neo-imperial ambitions of a man
in Kremlin. For reference, the map covers the area of Ukraine west of
Kyiv, through
Kharkiv, Kupiansk, Bakhmut, and as far as Starobilsk.
German map at a scale of 1:100,000
(Italien),
sheet 69 (Asti), Stereokarte. However, it is not a
‘stereoscopic map’ i.e. based on aerial photographs, but an ‘anaglyph
map’
which, when viewed through red–blue glasses, produces a stereoscopic,
three-dimensional effect (other examples of 3D images can be found on
one of the sheets of the above-mentioned Mil-Geo maps from northern
Greece). Incidentally, I don't know how many sheets of the Italian 100K
series were produced; the Library of Congress has a few (3–5) and I
scanned
this one for reference. There are probably at least several thousand
sheets of maps of Italy from the 1930s and World War II, at scales
ranging from
1:25,000 to 1:100,000, in Italian, American, British, and German
editions — and some same sheets were often reissued
multiple times (up to six editions of a single sheet, plus variants,
combat situation reprints, fortifications sheets, etc.), so we have no
plans to
‘expand’ onto this topic.

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