Rohatyn Town Cadastral Map 1846

Feldskizzen of the entire town of Rohatyn (Рогатин, Rogatin), from 1846. In addition to a market square, canals and a mill, this map shows a distinct Jewish quarter 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 actual land features by RSRG, enabling a trial overlay map. This historic paper map is preserved by the Central State Historical Archives of Ukraine in Lviv (TsDIAL).
