Wieliczka Cadastral Map 1847
A full-color map of the historic city of Wieliczka (Groß Salze, Wielka Sól) near Kraków, surveyed in 1847 and lithographed two years later. This is a final-state cadastral map showing building and land parcel numbers but not house numbers, with later greenline annotations showing the arrival of the railroad. Site of a huge saltworks dating from the 13th century, the valuable mineral deposits accessed through numerous mine shafts (labeled Schacht here) generated great local wealth. The castle and production headquarters are shown, along with several urban squares, four churches and a monastery, substantial service buildings, numerous ponds and other water features, and several named roads. This historic paper map is preserved by the Archiwum Narodowe w Krakowie.
