Knihynicze Cadastral Map 1876
A complete single-color cadastral map of the town of Knihynicze (Княгиничі, Knyahynychi, Kniehynicze, Kniahynychi), from 1876. This working copy was made from an earlier lithograph, roughly quartered for carrying in the field, then hand-marked; manuscript updates include many property numbers and many landowner names, making this a uniquely valuable record of the Austrian Empire's tax record process. Situated at the edge of the large town reservoir, the center of Knihynicze shows a large church, several numbered Jewish community buildings (revealed in the associated landowner records), Jewish and Catholic cemeteries, and many features for managing the water inlets to and outlets from the reservoir. This historic paper map is preserved by the Central State Historical Archives of Ukraine in Lviv (TsDIAL).
