Maps
for the Pygmy Wars
Battle
maps
With the kind assistance of
Martin James, I have an English version map of the Orel campaign,
originally taken from the Soviet era "Encyclopedia of Civil War and
Intervention in the USSR":
Here are a couple of the Tsaritsyn to Astrakhan stretch of the Volga
for late 1919, the first again from the "Encyclopedia of Civil War and
Intervention in the USSR" and the second from "Combats of the
XI
Army from the Northern Caucasus to the Lower Volga: 1918 - 1920" by V.
T. Sukhorukov.
Here are a couple of maps showing the positions in the Baltic when the
Soviets were being driven back in Latvia and by the Estonian and White
armies. (These come from the section on the Latvians and Estonians
against the Freikorps.)
Soviet
Topographical
maps
I have collected a whole host of the 1960s Soviet 1:100,000
topographical maps of the Ukraine, southern Cossack areas and Caucasus
in jpg which
were on-line at the University of Berkeley, but were then pulled – which is a shame, as they covered most of the
area
of operations of the AFSR and much of the Polish campaigns too. The
area of coverage is still available, just not the maps:
Since then fortunately I have found a site which covers all of the
Soviet Union in 1:200,000 and a fair chunk of it in 1:100,000.
For the areas of the Baltic and Iudenich's campaigns I have the
1:100,000
series but in paper form. I bought them, for a very reasonable price,
from a shop in Riga (they will take e-mail orders in English):
The Soviet series is – not surprisingly – in
Cyrillic,
which can be a
little trying in general an quite odd when dealing with the Baltic.
Fortunately there is an English translation of the key made by the US
military: TM30-548 Beware that it is a 50 MB file!
Pre-1945
Topographic Maps
The Austro-Hungarians
produced a 1:200,000 series just before WWI. This means one can place
the correct roads, villages, forests etc on top of modern topographic
maps:
For Poland as it stood in
1920, which means much of the Ukraine and Belarus is covered as well,
there is this inter-war series:
