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
Rembertów,
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 Kopciówka (near Grodno / Grodna)
- P47
S41 B Smordwa and
- P47
S41 E Pełcza
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 Wydziałowe
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
Kościelna 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!
