Turka Cadastral Map 1853
A nearly-complete full-color cadastral map of the city of Turka (Турка, Turka nad Stryjem, טורקא) on the Stryi and Yablunka Rivers, surveyed on 1853 and lithographed in 1856. This is a final-state cadastral map including land and building parcel numbers but no house numbers, with redline revisions only to indicate the future railroad right of way. The map shows the incomplete market square flanked on three sides by the Yablunka River, with three churches and small Christian graveyards each at a short distance from the square. Just outside the square to the south one can see an unlabeled large masonry synagogue, and across the river to the north is the large Jewish cemetery. This historic paper map is preserved by the Central State Historical Archives of Ukraine in Lviv.
