Skole Cadastral Map 1851
An incomplete full-color cadastral map of Skole (Skola, Skolye) in the Beskid Mountains southwest of Stryj, today in Ukraine near the borders of Poland and Slovakia, surveyed in 1851. This is a final-state cadastral map showing building and land parcel numbers but not house numbers. Three map sheets are missing from the archival record on a line following the Opór/Opir River valley, unfortunately eliminating almost the entire built-up town, though the Jewish cemetery is preserved on the map. In the late 19th century Jews made up 60% of the population, but a large colony of German Catholics had settled in Demnia Wyżna upstream from Skole (on the lower missing sheet). This historic paper map is preserved by the Central State Historical Archives of Ukraine in Lviv.
