General Map of Courland Province: Showing Postal and Major Roads, Stations and the... 1820. Creators: Vasilii Petrovich Piadyshev, Iwanoff
General Map of Courland Province: Showing Postal and Major Roads, Stations and the Distance in Versts between Them, 1820. This 1820 map of Courland Province is from a larger work, Geograficheskii atlas Rossiiskoi imperii, tsarstva Pol'skogo i velikogo kniazhestva Finliandskogo (Geographical atlas of the Russian Empire, the Kingdom of Poland, and the Grand Duchy of Finland), containing 60 maps of the Russian Empire. Compiled and engraved by Colonel V.P. Piadyshev, it reflects the detailed mapping carried out by Russian military cartographers in the first quarter of the 19th century. The map shows population centers (four gradations by size), inns, postal stations, roads (two types), state, provincial and district borders, and customs houses. Distances are shown in versts, a Russian measure, now no longer used, equal to 1.07 kilometers. Legends, the index of regional names, and place-names are in Russian and German. The territory depicted on the map roughly corresponds to the southern portion of present-day Latvia

EDITORS COMMENTS
This historic map print, titled "General Map of Courland Province: Showing Postal and Major Roads, Stations and the Distance in Versts between Them," dates back to 1820. It is an extract from the larger work, "Geograficheskii atlas Rossiiskoi imperii, tsarstva Pol'skogo i velikogo kniazhestva Finliandskogo" (Geographical atlas of the Russian Empire, the Kingdom of Poland, and the Grand Duchy of Finland), which consisted of 60 maps of the Russian Empire. The map was compiled and engraved by Colonel Vasilii Petrovich Piadyshev and Iwanoff. The map meticulously depicts the Courland Province, roughly corresponding to the southern portion of present-day Latvia. It showcases various population centers, categorized into four gradations based on size, inns, postal stations, roads (distinguished by type), state, provincial, and district borders, and customs houses. Distances are denoted in versts, a Russian measure equivalent to 1.07 kilometers. The map's detailed representation is a testament to the extensive mapping efforts carried out by Russian military cartographers during the first quarter of the 19th century. The map's legends, index of regional names, and place-names are provided in both Russian and German, reflecting the multilingual nature of the region at the time. This map offers a fascinating glimpse into the geography and infrastructure of Courland Province during the early 19th century.
