Now updated on the Gesher Galicia Map Room: A complete full-color
lithographed 1852 cadastral map of Dobromil (Dobromyl), today in far-western Ukraine: http://maps.geshergalicia.org/cadastral/dobromil-dobromyl-1852-2/ Dobromil is a small town which had a significant Jewish presence, and it was more "urban" than many of the towns surveyed in Galicia by the Austrian Empire. Residences and businesses are concentrated around an orderly square composed entirely of masonry buildings, unusual for the period and the town's size. We had previously posted an intermediate-stage map of the town from the same survey, but this final-stage cadastral map is both more valuable for research and more beautiful. We thank Alexander Nazar of the Lviv Volunteer Center: https://lvc.lviv.ua/index.php/en/ for alerting us to the availability of this map across the border, in Poland. The LVC is a non-profit organization conducting social and heritage work in and around Lviv; they have an active Jewish heritage project in Dobromil. Images for this map were provided to Gesher Galicia by the Archiwum Panstwowe w Przemyslu: http://www.przemysl.ap.gov.pl/index.php?lang=en The GG Map Room home page: http://maps.geshergalicia.org/ Jay Osborn Gesher Galicia Digital Map Manager Lviv, Ukraine maps@geshergalicia.org
