EDITORS COMMENTS
This historic map print, titled "General Map of Livland Province: Showing Postal and Major Roads, Stations and the Distance in Versts between Them," was created by Colonel Vasilii Petrovich Piadyshev and Iwanoff in 1820. The map is a part of 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), which contained sixty maps of the Russian Empire. The map depicts the Livland Province, which corresponds to the southern part of present-day Estonia and the northern part of present-day Latvia. The meticulous mapping carried out by Russian military cartographers in the first quarter of the 19th century is evident in the level of detail shown on the map. The map includes various features such as population centers (six gradations by size), postal stations, roads (four types), provincial and district borders, taverns, and customs houses. Distances are shown in versts, a Russian measure now no longer used, equal to 1.07 kilometers. Legends and place-names are provided in both Russian and German. The map's intricate detail and accuracy reflect the extensive efforts made by the Russian Empire to map and explore its territories during this period. This map is a valuable historical resource, offering insights into the geography, infrastructure, and administrative divisions of the region during the early 19th century.
