ABSTRACT

This map (scale 1:275,000) presents the route that was taken by Dean Szymon Waraxa’s courier(s) while transporting the package of documents from the Insurrectionary authorities across the southern part of the Olwita deanery, as described in Richard Butterwick’s chapter. This map was prepared using ESRI ArcGIS software using the Topographisch—Militärische Karte vom vormaligen Neu Ostpreussen oder dem jetziger Nördlichen Theil des Herzogthums Warschau nebst dem Russischen District [. . .], prepared by Johan Christoph von Textor, and published by Daniel Friedrich Sotzman in 1808 in Berlin. It is a generalized version (on an approximate scale of 1:150,000) of a previous, large-scale map, made by Lieutenant-General von Geusau and Lieutenant-Colonel von Stein in 1795–1800, the Krieges Karte der Provinz Neu-Ost-Preussen.
