Cartographic works of the 19th century include a map of European Russia, which is also called the Strelbitsky map. It included the entire European half of Russia with established limits.

The birthplace of Ivan Afanasyevich Strelbitsky is the Poltava province. The future captain studied at school on a course of land surveyors, after which he went to serve in the survey corps, and then in the St. Petersburg Grenadier Regiment of King Friedrich Wilhelm III.

Later, he graduated from the course of the military academy and was enrolled in the general staff. Thanks to his scientific work, he has many awards, for example, the Konstantinovsky medal from the Russian Geographical Society. In addition to the “Special Map of European Russia”, Strelbitsky was noted for another work - “The Possessions of the Turks on the Mainland of Europe from 1700 to 1879”

The compilation of the map was carried out under the control of the commission, which included Lieutenant General Stefan - he, as the main leader, Colonel Tyutikov, and three lieutenant colonels - Ilyin, Shevelev and Lavrentiev. In order to understand what completeness can be allowed on a 10-verst map, Stefan issued an order to transfer samples of areas in real form to the map, taking into account the drawing of contours, inscriptions, spelling, etc. The best sample turned out to be Strelbitsky's design, and a new special map was prepared based on his work. Strelbitsky received the following instructions to develop new symbols and prepare additional rules for working on a special map. All this was approved by the Minister of War in September 1865. This was followed by a flurry of activity in compiling and engraving the map, the editors of the General Staff of Captain Strelbitsky took part in this. Subsequently, the decisions of the Advisory Committee were somewhat changed, this concerned the choice of settlements marked on the map. The 1-verst scale turned out to be too small in order to transfer all the settlements of some provinces to the map. So, we decided to limit ourselves to a few points, which included more than five yards. In another case, 3-yard settlements and more were applied. Otherwise, the map would not correspond to the reliable density of the populated territory. The maps were “stuffed” with manor houses, farmsteads, manors and inns on the main roads. If there were some details on the map, then they mattered to the population, for example, the same wells along the roads, swamps, sands, and so on. Unnamed rivers and bushes were left without attention. Strelbitsky's map is a huge cartographic publication, calculated on 152 sheets and covering a little more than half of Europe. The compilation of the map lasted 6 years, from 1865 to 1871. A part of Prussia, Finland, the Caucasus, Bukovina and Galicia, Moldavia, Wallachia and some part of European Turkey are also marked on the Map.

I saw about these numbers and circles ... now I’ll write it off, I can’t find the page .. someone already had such a question, but I saw the answer on this site, if I don’t send the link, then I didn’t have time ... I’m in half an hour you have to go .. then you'll see for yourself?

When, as a result of this, samples were drawn up - one on a 20-verst scale, and the other on a 10-verst scale, for part of Bessarabia and the Podolsk province, on April 30, 1864, the Advisory Committee, having considered the submitted samples, decided:

  • To publish a new special map of Russia on a 10-verst scale, executing it according to the Gaussian projection.
  • Embrace all of European Russia with it within the limits possibly close to those accepted on the maps of the Geographical Society.
  • It is possible to introduce into a special map detailed orography, hydrography with the situation of coasts, sands, forests, all state, provincial and district borders, railways, postal and main country roads, and finally: all residential areas (allowing deviations only in the most extreme cases, when an abundance of inscriptions of fractional points could lead to a variegated map).
  • Execute the map in a chromolithographic way, printing outlines and inscriptions in black, mountains in sepia, waters in blue and forests in green.
  • Contours and inscriptions are cut on copper, and other objects on stone.
  • In the inscriptions on the map, adhere to the generally accepted orography.
  • Mapping is carried out under the editorship of a special commission of the following persons: Lieutenant General Stefan (as the main leader), Colonel Tyutikov, Lieutenant Colonels: Shevelev, Ilyin and Lavrentiev.

  • The main additions made in 1865 to the resolutions of the advisory committee concerned primarily the choice of dwelling places to be placed on the map. Since the ten-verst scale of the map in some provinces does not allow drawing all the settlements placed on the three-verst map and surveys. It was proposed to confine ourselves to drawing on the map only those residential areas in which there are at least 5 yards; in provinces where the largest part of the villages contains no more than 5 households, take villages from 3 households outside the residential areas plotted on the map, since with a pass on the map of all villages from 5 to 3 households, the map would remain empty and would not express the actual population density. In addition, the following were introduced on the map: manor houses, manors, farmsteads and inns on high roads. When drawing other details on the map, it was proposed to place only such objects that would be of particular importance for the area, such as: sands, salt marshes, swamps, wells along roads in the steppe provinces, which are important during the passage of troops, and in general objects that characterize terrain; for clarity, maps of small rivers that do not have inscriptions, as well as shrubs, are not put on the map.

    New special card ( Strelbitsky map) represented a huge cartographic publication on 152 sheets and covered much more than half of all of Europe.

The history of the creation of the Strelbitsky map

The first place among the cartographic works of the second half of the 19th century, undoubtedly, is occupied by a new special map of European Russia (the Strelbitsky Map).

Due to the outdated data of the Schubert map, in the middle of the 19th century there was an urgent need for more detailed and modern map The European part of Russia, which could serve for military purposes: both strategic and deployment.

The issue of issuing a new special map of European Russia was raised in January 1863 by the Quartermaster General, Lieutenant General Verigin. Pointing out, at a meeting of the Advisory Committee, the obsolescence and inaccuracy of Schubert's 10-verst map, the publication of which was completed back in 1842, Lieutenant-General Verigin drew the attention of the committee members to the need to publish a new detailed map European Russia, which could serve for general strategic considerations.

The members of the committee, having examined the sheets of the presented maps: 1) Schubert's special map on a 10-verst scale; 2) A detailed map (the so-called capital map) on a 20-verst scale; 3) Maps of the Geographical Society, on a scale of 40 versts to an inch, 4) Maps of Austria Fallon on a 22.5 verst scale, came to the conclusion that the map of Austria Fallon can be taken as a model, and it is enough to accept the map scale of 20 versts.

The Minister of War did not put a final resolution on the report on the publication of a detailed map of European Russia on a 20-verst scale, expressing the opinion that until the final decision on the issue of publication general map, it would be necessary to draw up detailed proposals and that it would not even be superfluous to draw up samples of maps on which one could see the technical finish of the map and the degree of detail in the contours, inscriptions, and so on.

When, as a result of this, samples were drawn up - one on a 20-verst scale, and the other on a 10-verst scale, for part of Bessarabia and the Podolsk province, on April 30, 1864, the Advisory Committee, having considered the submitted samples, decided:

To publish a new special map of Russia on a 10-verst scale, executing it according to the Gaussian projection.
Embrace all of European Russia with it within the limits possibly close to those accepted on the maps of the Geographical Society.
It is possible to introduce into a special map detailed orography, hydrography with the situation of the coasts, sands, forests, all state, provincial and district borders, railways, postal and main country roads, and finally: all residential areas (allowing deviations only in the most extreme cases, when an abundance labels of fractional points could lead to a variegated map).
Execute the map in a chromolithographic way, printing outlines and inscriptions in black, mountains in sepia, waters in blue and forests in green.
Contours and inscriptions are cut on copper, and other objects on stone.
In the inscriptions on the map, adhere to the generally accepted orography.
Mapping is carried out under the editorship of a special commission of the following persons: Lieutenant General Stefan (as the main leader), Colonel Tyutikov, Lieutenant Colonels: Shevelev, Ilyin and Lavrentiev.

General Stefan ordered to draw up new samples of various localities, in the same form in which a special map should be published, that is, with contours, inscriptions, forests and orography, in order to be able to correctly judge which one can be allowed. completeness on a map of 10-verst scale. Of all the samples compiled by Captain Strelbitsky, he was approved and was taken as a model for compiling and publishing a new special map. Captain Strelbitsky was instructed to draw up new conventional signs and additional rules for compiling a special map.

Such signs and rules, together with additions to them, were approved by the Minister of War on September 29, 1865, and in November of the same year, the compilation and engraving of a new special map of all European Russia began, already under the editorship of the General Staff of Captain Strelbitsky.

The main additions made in 1865 to the resolutions of the advisory committee concerned primarily the choice of dwelling places to be placed on the map. Since the ten-verst scale of the map in some provinces does not allow drawing all the settlements placed on the three-verst map and surveys. It was proposed to confine ourselves to drawing on the map only those residential areas in which there are at least 5 yards; in provinces where the largest part of the villages contains no more than 5 households, take villages from 3 households outside the residential areas plotted on the map, since with a pass on the map of all villages from 5 to 3 households, the map would remain empty and would not express the actual population density. In addition, the following were introduced on the map: manor houses, manors, farmsteads and inns on high roads. When drawing other details on the map, it was proposed to place only such objects that would be of particular importance for the area, such as: sands, salt marshes, swamps, wells along roads in the steppe provinces, which are important during the passage of troops, and in general objects that characterize terrain; for clarity, maps of small rivers that do not have inscriptions, as well as shrubs, are not put on the map.

New special map (Strelbitsky map) represented a huge cartographic publication on 152 sheets and covered an area of ​​much more than half of all of Europe.

Started in November 1865 Strelbitsky map was completed in November 1871, that is, exactly 6 years later. (The region of Asia Minor on 18 sheets was published in 1916 by making photocopies from the map of Kipert, scale 1:400,000).

Covers a vast expanse of European Russia, including Finland, the Orenburg Territory, the Caucasus and the Vistula provinces; from foreign areas it includes: part of Prussia, all of Galicia and Bukovina, Moldavia and Wallachia, and part of European Turkey.

The materials for compiling a special map, edited by Captain Strelbitsky, were:

For those provinces in which topographic surveys have been made, or genuine surveys, or a topographic map compiled from them.
For the same provinces where there were no topographic surveys, they used reconnaissance and other different kind cartographic materials available in the archives of the Military Topographic Department.
For the provinces: Olonets, Vologda, Vyatka, Perm and for the Shenkur district of the Arkhangelsk province, the general survey plans received from the survey department served.
For the rest of the counties of the Arkhangelsk province, various kinds of cartographic materials obtained from the Ministry of State Property and the Central Statistical Committee served.
For Finland - economic surveys of Finland, and for its northern and northeastern parts - demarcation with Norway and various other kinds of maps.
For foreign areas - the best and latest maps of border states, and for Turkey and Persia - surveys of the Persian-Turkish demarcation and others.
To determine the number of households, the following materials were used: lists of populated areas published by the Central Statistical Committee; Geographical Dictionary - of the Geographical Society.

Making a summary of all the materials included in the special map of Strelbitsky, it should be noted that in addition to the materials of the Military Topographic Department, it included: materials available in the ministries: in the maritime and state property, in the boundary and mining departments, in the Central Statistical Committee, Geographic Society and materials and descriptions obtained by private means for those localities, to supplement which with the necessary details, official materials turned out to be insufficient.

Obviously, for such a cartographic publication to serve only military needs (deployment and strategic) is too narrow a purpose. It can be safely said that Special map of Strelbitsky satisfied the needs of the entire Russian society in a good detailed map.

In subsequent editions, corrections and additions were made to the maps, the basis for which were maps of a larger scale and reconnaissance conducted by the Corps of Military Topographers and other departments. According to the results of the reconnaissance, railways were plotted.
Strelbitsky Ivan Afanasyevich

Ivan Afanasyevich Strelbitsky- of the General Staff, Lieutenant General, General of Infantry, one of the most famous cartographers.

Born in 1828 in the Poltava province; at the end of the course at the school of land surveyors, which was at the University of Kiev, he entered the service in the land surveying corps, then transferred to the St. Petersburg Grenadier King Frederick William III Regiment; in 1861 he completed a course at the military academy and was enrolled in the general staff.

In 1865, Strelbitsky was entrusted with the editorship of the new "Special Map of European Russia". Since then, he has been the constant leader of this enormous work, at the same time performing, both in Russia and abroad, many other assignments.

The scientific work of Strelbitsky attracted general attention. The Russian Geographical Society awarded him the highest award - the Konstantinovsky medal; the French Geographical Society also awarded him a medal; many other geographical and statistical societies, as well as the international statistical institute, elected Strelbitsky as their members.

Died 1900

The main works of Strelbitsky:

"Special Map of European Russia" (Published by the military topographic department of the main headquarters, edited by Strelbitsky); this map, on a scale of 10 versts to an inch, consists of 178 sheets and includes not only the European possessions of Russia, but also most of Prussia and Austria-Hungary, the Balkan Peninsula, parts of Asia Minor and Turkey;
"Calculation of the surface of the Russian Empire, in its general composition, in the reign of Emperor Alexander II" (1874) - a huge and remarkable work in terms of processing, which for the first time gave correct information about the surface of the possessions of Russia, both in their entire composition, and in provinces and counties , with separate calculation of islands and lakes.

Special map of European Russia Strelbitsky map.
Due to outdated information Schubert cards, in the middle of the XIX century there was an urgent need for a more detailed and modern map of the European part of Russia, which could serve for military purposes: both strategic and dislocation.
The issue of issuing a new special map of European Russia was raised in January 1863 by the Quartermaster General, Lieutenant General Verigin. Pointing out at a meeting of the Advisory Committee the obsolescence and inaccuracy of Schubert's 10-verst map, the publication of which was completed back in 1842, Lieutenant-General Verigin drew the attention of the committee members to the need to publish a new detailed map of European Russia, which could serve for general strategic considerations. Committee members, having examined the sheets of the submitted maps: 1) on a 10-verst scale;
2) on a 20-verst scale;
3) Maps of the Geographical Society, on a scale of 40 miles per inch,
4) Fallon's maps of Austria on a 22.5-verst scale, came to the conclusion that the map of Fallon's Austria can be taken as a model, and it is enough to accept the scale of the map as 20 versts. on a 10-verst scale did not put a final resolution, expressing the opinion that before the final decision on the issue of issuing a general map, detailed proposals should have been drawn up and that it would not even be superfluous to draw up samples of maps on which one could see the technical finish of the map and the degree details in contours, inscriptions, etc. When, as a result, samples were drawn up - one on a 20-verst scale, and the other on a 10-verst scale, for part of Bessarabia and the Podolsk province, on April 30, 1864, the Advisory Committee, having considered submitted samples, decided:
To publish a new special map of Russia on a 10-verst scale, executing it according to the Gaussian projection.
Embrace all of European Russia with it within the limits possibly close to those accepted on the maps of the Geographical Society.
It is possible to introduce into a special map detailed orography, hydrography with the situation of the coasts, sands, forests, all state, provincial and district borders, railways, postal and main country roads, and finally: all residential areas (allowing deviations only in the most extreme cases, when an abundance labels of fractional points could lead to a variegated map). Execute the map in a chromolithographic way, printing contours and inscriptions in black paint, mountains in sepia, waters in blue and forests in green paint. Cut out the contours and inscriptions on copper, and other objects on stone. Keep the generally accepted orography in the inscriptions on the map. Mapping should be carried out under the editorship of a special commission of the following persons: Lieutenant General Stefan (as the main leader), Colonel Tyutikov, Lieutenant Colonels: Shevelev, Ilyin and Lavrentiev. General Stefan ordered to draw up new samples of various localities, in in the same form in which a special map should be published, i.e. with contours, inscriptions, forests and orography, in order to be able to correctly judge what completeness can be allowed on a map of a 10-verst scale. Of all the samples compiled by Captain Strelbitsky, he was approved and was taken as a model for compiling and publishing a new special map. Captain Strelbitsky was instructed to draw up new conventional signs and additional rules for compiling a special map.
Such signs and rules, together with additions to them, were approved by the Minister of War on September 29, 1865, and in November of the same year, the compilation and engraving of a new special map of all European Russia began, already under the editorship of the General Staff of Captain Strelbitsky.
The main additions made in 1865 to the resolutions of the advisory committee concerned primarily the choice of dwelling places to be placed on the map. Since the ten-verst scale of the map in some provinces does not allow drawing all the settlements placed on the three-verst map and surveys. It was proposed to confine ourselves to drawing on the map only those residential areas in which there are at least 5 yards; in provinces where the largest part of the villages contains no more than 5 households, take villages from 3 households outside the residential areas plotted on the map, since with a pass on the map of all villages from 5 to 3 households, the map would remain empty and would not express the actual population density. In addition, the following were introduced on the map: manor houses, manors, farmsteads and inns on high roads. When drawing other details on the map, it was proposed to place only such objects that would be of particular importance for the area, such as: sands, salt marshes, swamps, wells along roads in the steppe provinces, which are important during the passage of troops, and in general objects that characterize terrain; for clarity, maps of small rivers that do not have inscriptions, as well as bushes, do not map on the map. A new special map Strelbitsky map represented a huge cartographic publication on 152 sheets and covered an area of ​​much more than half of all of Europe.
Started in November 1865, Strelbitsky's map was completed in November 1871, that is, exactly 6 years later. (The region of Asia Minor on 18 sheets was published in 1916 by making photocopies from the map of Kipert, scale 1:400,000). covers the vast expanse of European Russia, including Finland, the Orenburg Territory, the Caucasus and the Vistula provinces; from foreign areas it includes: part of Prussia, all of Galicia and Bukovina, Moldavia and Wallachia, and part of European Turkey.
The materials for compiling a special map, edited by Captain Strelbitsky, were:
For those provinces in which topographic surveys have been made, or genuine surveys, or a topographic map compiled from them.
For those provinces where there were no topographic surveys, they used reconnaissance and other various kinds of cartographic materials available in the archives of the Military Topographic Department. obtained from the land survey department. For the rest of the counties of the Arkhangelsk province, various kinds of cartographic materials obtained from the Ministry of State Property and the Central Statistical Committee served. types of maps. For foreign areas - the best and latest maps of border states, and for Turkey and Persia - surveys of the Persian-Turkish delimitation and others. To determine the number of courtyards, the following served as material: lists of settlements published by the Central Statistical Committee; Geographical Dictionary - of the Geographical Society. Making a summary of all the materials included in the special map of Strelbitsky, it should be noted that in addition to the materials of the Military Topographic Department, it included: materials available in the ministries: in the maritime and state property, in the survey and mining departments, in the Central Statistical Committee, the Geographical Society and materials and descriptions obtained privately for those areas, to supplement which with the necessary details, official materials turned out to be insufficient. Obviously, for such a cartographic publication to serve only military needs (deployment and strategic) is too narrow a purpose . It can be safely said that Special map of Strelbitsky satisfied the needs of the entire Russian society in a good detailed map. In subsequent editions, corrections and additions were made to the maps, the basis for which were maps of a larger scale and reconnaissance conducted by the Corps of Military Topographers and other departments. According to the results of the reconnaissance, railways were plotted. Railways and highways were corrected according to reconnaissance, to which Military Topographers were sent annually. Topographers of the Red Army before the Second World War reissued a 10-verst map (1: 420000) as part of the collection Special map of the European part of the USSR with adjacent states.
