This historic map print, titled "General Map of Kostroma Province: Showing Postal and Major Roads, Stations and the Distance in Versts between Them," was created by Colonel Vasilii Petrovich Piadyshev and Finaghenof in 1822. The map is a part of 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 of Kostroma Province showcases the meticulous mapping efforts carried out by Russian military cartographers in the early 19th century. The map displays population centers, categorized by size into six gradations, postal stations, roads of four types, provincial and district borders, monasteries, and factories. Distances are indicated in versts, a Russian measure now obsolete, equivalent to 1.07 kilometers. The map's detailed and accurate representation of the region was crucial for effective communication and transportation during that time. The legends and place-names are in both Russian and French, reflecting the international influence and reach of the Russian Empire.
