General Map of the Polish Empire: Showing Postal and Major Roads, Stations and the... 1820. Creators: Vasilii Petrovich Piadyshev, Frolov
General Map of the Polish Empire: Showing Postal and Major Roads, Stations and the Distance in Miles Between Them, 1820. This 1820 map of the Polish Empire, then part of the Russian Empire, 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 (five gradations by size), postal stations, roads (three types), and provincial and district borders. Distances are shown in miles. Legends, the county name index, and place-names are in Russian and Polish. The territory depicted on the map roughly corresponds to that of present-day Poland

EDITORS COMMENTS
This historic map print, titled "General Map of the Polish Empire: Showing Postal and Major Roads, Stations and the Distance in Miles Between Them," was created in 1820 by Russian military cartographers Colonel Vasilii Petrovich Piadyshev and Frolov. The map is 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 60 maps of the Russian Empire. At the time this map was produced, the Polish Empire was part of the Russian Empire. The map reflects the detailed and meticulous mapping efforts carried out by Russian military cartographers during the first quarter of the 19th century. The map shows various population centers, with five gradations by size, postal stations, roads (three types), and provincial and district borders. Distances between places are indicated in miles. The map's legends, county name index, and place-names are written in both Russian and Polish. The territory depicted on the map roughly corresponds to that of present-day Poland. This map is an important historical document, providing valuable information about the geography, infrastructure, and administrative divisions of the Polish Empire during the Russian Empire's rule. It offers a fascinating glimpse into the past and is a testament to the cartographic expertise of the time.
