Index no. 0044
These plates themselves are of very little interest. However, if you want to locate a Russian
village on a pre-revolutionary map, and you suspect that it is shown in one of the plates of
Marx's Atlas presented on this web site,
this page and the gazetteer plates it links to may help you to find it.
- Use the image below to find which of the 147 pages of the gazetteer it would
be on. For example, if you are looking for кребо, the image shows that it must be on plate
62 of the gazetteer.
The gazetteer is in alphabetical order, but uses a few characters that are now obsolete.
- Use the list of pages below to see that page of the gazetteer.
- If you are lucky, and you find the village listed in the gazetteer, note what it says there.
For instance, for кребо the gazetteer says "19 P 9".
- This site does not present the whole of Marx's Atlas, only the sixteen plates of European
Russia. In the Atlas itself, and in the gazetteer, these plates are numbered from 15 to 30; on
this site they are numbered from 1 to 16. So subtract 14 from the plate number given in
the gazetteer. So for кребо you will need plate 5. If you find a plate number which is not
in the range 15..30, then it refers to a plate which is in Marx's Atlas, but not among its
sixteen plates of European Russia presented on this site.
- On the appropriate plate, search the area referenced for the placename you are looking for.
Note that (unlike most modern atlases) the letter and number refer not to an exact rectangle,
but to an area within curved lines. On plate 5, "P9" indicates a not-quite-rectangular area
near the bottom right of the map. We search here for the name кребо. We find it, near
the bottom right corner of the P9 area.
