Map of 18th century - Small Tatarija

Map of Small Tatariya with  Kiev and Belogorod provinces. Comprises lands laying about Dnepr, Don and Donets. Also all Crimea and a part of Kuban with Black sea. Such text is placed in the left corner of the map created in far 1745. I shall remind, that it in time. It is an interval between two Russian-Crimean wars: 1736-38 and 1768-1774. Before annexation of Crimea by Russian empire remains hardly more than 30 years.



To examine a map more than curiously. At once is evident as forms of the Crimean peninsula are deformed. On this ancient map practically square. Bakhchisarai is drawn near the sea. Yalta, Alushty are not present. Sevastopol and Odessa still not exist.

There where on modern maps write Zaporozhye, it is drawn Zaporozhskaya Sech.

Surprises absence of roads. Mountains are extremely conditionally designated.
