Rohatyn Cadastral Field Sketch 1846

A cadastral field sketch of the entire town of Rohatyn (Рогатин, Rogatin) from 1846, showing individual house numbers. In addition to a market square, canals and a mill, this map shows an early Jewish area with four synagogues plus a fifth synagogue across town, and several cemeteries, including a Jewish cemetery on "Jerusalem" hill. As a preliminary field sketch, the sheets of this map were drawn without scale and with overlapping land parcels; using old and new aerial photographs, the distorted map was rubbersheeted into alignment with current land features by the RDRG, enabling a detailed overlay map. This historic paper map is preserved by the Central State Historical Archives of Ukraine in Lviv (TsDIAL).
