Busk Cadastral Map 1845
A nearly-complete full-color cadastral map of the centuries-old city of Busk (Буськ, Stare and Nowe Miasto Busk) northeast of Lemberg/Lwów/Lviv in western Ukraine, surveyed and lithographed in 1845. This is a final-state cadastral map including land and building parcel numbers but no house numbers, substantially redlined from an undated later revision. The map is very worn on the center sheets but much of the parcel data is legible. Multiple churches plus several Christian cemeteries and graveyards are visible, as well as unmarked synagogues; the prominence of the Busk Jewish community is attested by the huge and ancient Jewish cemetery east of the city center. This historic paper map is preserved by the Central State Historical Archives of Ukraine in Lviv.
