1920
A reprinted and partially
updated Austro-Hungarian (KuK) map, scale 1:200,000, printed by WIG under
its
old name of IWG - Instytut Wojskowo-Geograficzny. Strictly speaking this
is not
a one-off sheet, but one of many of the same type printed by IWG in very
early 1920s, but we present
it here as we don't have other sheets of this type, other than the
original
pre-1918 KuK editions on another sub-page, and we're not likely to have
more of
the IWG editions of this map type anyway. (ok 13,5 Mb, 400 dpi / approx.
13.5 Mb, 400 dpi)
44-50 Ostrog
1924
scale:1:100 000
Very attractive-looking and interesting map, based on previous German
editions (KdwR), but
in colour. Covers a large area. Warning, large file, approx. 55Mb
MAPA TOPOGRAFICZNA OKOLIC WARSZAWY
1927
A map, probably showing an
artillery firing range in the east of Poland, scale 1:50,000, enlargement
of an 1:100,000 sheet, based
on Karte des westlichen Russlands. 400 dpi. 16.9 Mb.
Mosty - Rozanka - Duze Siolo
1928
Precise sheet title and date unknown (margins trimmed). Very interesting
map,
not only because it shows a training ground, but because it's a mixture of “old”
and “new” type of WIG 1:25 000 maps, including old and new map
symbols. 1:25 000, 25Mb
Poligon Rembertow Another edition of the training area Biedrusko, north
of Poznan. 1:25,000 scale, file size 18.8 Mb, 400dpi OBÓZ ĆWICZEBNY BIEDRUSKO WYD.
PROWIZORYCZNE
1:25,000, a copy of
Austro-Hungarian maps, showing the area currently in the Ukraine (south
of Dnester river). It is not a one-off map, as WIG reproduced often
reproduced earlier Austro-Hungarian maps, but it's the only sheet we
have and the area shows a battlefield from the very early days of
pre-WW2 Poland, so it is worth showing.
