Attention Czernowitz, Lwow and Stanislawow researchers!
Gesher Galicia announces four new maps added to the cadastral map room. Thanks to a frenzied burst of creative activity by Jay Osborn, with the help of the generous Logan Kleinwaks, who sourced these maps (and their companion directories,) we have a Loganpalooza of cartographic gems which are sure to be useful to researchers: Lemberg (Lwow) General Street Map 1920 & Directory The map shows street names, train lines, electric tram lines and stops, and many numbered buildings: http://maps.geshergalicia.org/general/lviv-lwow-lemberg-1920/ Lemberg (Lwow) General Street Map 1938 The map shows street names, train and tram lines, old and new Jewish cemeteries, with close-ups of the town center and eastern fairgrounds. Included is a separate detailed street directory updated in 1939: http://maps.geshergalicia.org/general/lviv-lwow-lemberg-1938/ You can jump right to the directory at this link: http://maps.geshergalicia.org/general/lviv-lwow-lemberg-1938/directory.pdf Stanislawow and Knihinin General Street Map 1919 Today, Stanislawow is called Ivano Frankivsk. This map includes a detailed section of the town center, and shows named districts, some street names, and major buildings and includes the dependent municipality of Knihinin Wies which later was incorporated into Stanislawow. http://maps.geshergalicia.org/general/ivano-frankivsk-stanislawow-1919/ Czernowitz Town Map and Property Owner List 1782, which claims to be the oldest general plan of the city: http://maps.geshergalicia.org/general/czernowitz-homeowners-1782/ Property map of the residential area of Czernowitz (Tschernowitz, Czerniowce), with a listing of property owners, >from records for the year 1782; Curiously, the map and homeowner list is >from a Czernowitz school yearbook by the school's director Constantin Mandyczewski, published 1898; traditional school records are included in a second section of the book.
