Two new maps were just published on the Gesher Galicia Cadastral Map Room:
Rudnik Cadastral Map 1853 http://maps.geshergalicia.org/cadastral/rudnik-1853/ A full-color lithographed cadastral map of the town of Rudnik (Rudnik nad Sanem, Ridnik, Riduk) on the river San, surveyed and lithographed in 1853. This excerpt of the full map includes the entire northern half, with the town center and all residential and business buildings; the southern half of the cadastral area (not shown) includes some tilled and grazing parcels plus extensive forest land. The well-developed town core includes a large town hall, an estate and ornamental gardens, Jewish and Catholic cemeteries, a church, canals and water control for a large mill complex. Extensive redline revisions for a future edition of the map include clearance and right of way for the future railroad southwest of the market square. Kozowa Cadastral Map 1846 http://maps.geshergalicia.org/cadastral/kozowa-kozova-1846/ A partial, full-color cadastral field sketch (feldskizzen) map of the town of Kozowa (Kozova, Kosowa, Kosev) >from an initial survey of 1846. Although only a few sheets of this map have survived for archiving, those covering the business and residential center are preserved. The sketch is rough and only a partial fit could be made, but buildings and parcels are carefully annotated and numbered, including a Jewish section south of the market square. Also shown on the map are Roman Catholic and Greek Catholic churches, large estate grounds, as well as a few properties still marked 'unknown'(unbekannt) at the time of the survey.
