General Map of Kiev Province: Showing Postal and Major Roads, Stations and.. 1821. Creators: Vasilii Petrovich Piadyshev, Faleleef
General Map of Kiev Province: Showing Postal and Major Roads, Stations and the Distance in Versts between Them, 1821. This 1821 map of Kiev 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, plants and factories, inns, postal stations, roads (four types), and provincial and district borders. 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 Ukraine

EDITORS COMMENTS
This historic map print, titled "General Map of Kiev 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 sixty maps of the Russian Empire. The map was compiled and engraved by Colonel Vasilii Petrovich Piadyshev and Faleleef. The map provides a detailed representation of the Kiev Province, which is now part of present-day Ukraine. It showcases population centers, six gradations in size, monasteries, plants and factories, inns, postal stations, and roads of four types. The provincial and district borders are also clearly demarcated. Distances are indicated in versts, a Russian measure equal to 1.07 kilometers, which was commonly used during that period. The map's legends and place-names are written in both Russian and Polish, reflecting the multicultural landscape of the region during the early 19th century. The meticulous mapping carried out by Russian military cartographers during this time is evident in the level of detail presented on this map. This valuable historical document offers insights into the geography, infrastructure, and administrative divisions of the Kiev Province during the Russian Empire.
