Bystre Cadastral Map 1852
A complete full-color cadastral map of the village of Bystre just south of Baligród in southeastern Poland (today not far from the border with Slovakia), surveyed and lithographed in 1852. This is a final-state cadastral map including land and building parcel numbers but no house numbers. A small settlement of barely 100 residents in 1900, also present was a managed estate on which 8 of 10 residents were Jewish. The wooden houses of the village are aligned with the river and streams in the valleys, and a tiny wooden church with graveyard already served most of the residents in 1852. Images for this map were provided to Gesher Galicia by the Archiwum Państwowe w Przemyślu.
