General Map of Minsk Province: Showing Postal and Major Roads, Stations and the... 1821. Creators: Vasilii Petrovich Piadyshev, Iwanoff
General Map of Minsk Province: Showing Postal and Major Roads, Stations and the Distance in Versts between Them, 1821. This 1821 map of Minsk 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 (six gradations by size), monasteries, inns, postal stations, roads (four types), and borders (provincial, district). Distances are shown in versts, a Russian measure, now no longer used, equal to 1.07 kilometers. Legends and place-names are in Russian and Polish. The territory depicted on the map is in present-day Belarus

EDITORS COMMENTS
This historic map print, titled "General Map of Minsk Province: Showing Postal and Major Roads, Stations and the Distance in Versts between Them," dates back to 1821. 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 contained 60 maps of the Russian Empire. The map was compiled and engraved by Colonel Vasilii Petrovich Piadyshev and Iwanoff. The map provides a detailed representation of the Minsk Province, which is located in present-day Belarus. The meticulous mapping carried out by Russian military cartographers in the first quarter of the 19th century is evident in the intricate depiction of population centers, monasteries, inns, postal stations, roads, and borders. The population centers are categorized into six gradations based on size. The roads are classified into four types, and distances are shown in versts, a Russian measure equal to 1.07 kilometers. The map's legends and place-names are in both Russian and Polish, reflecting the multicultural nature of the region at the time. The borders depicted on the map indicate the provincial and district boundaries. This map offers a unique glimpse into the geography and infrastructure of the Minsk Province during the early 19th century, making it an invaluable historical resource.
