Maps & Directories for Lwow, Stanislawow, Czernowitz & Knihinin on the Gesher Galicia Cadastral Map Room #ukraine

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:

and many numbered buildings:

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.
