This page is a key page for our entire Map section but concentrates on Maps of the Twentieth Century. We would like more maps from all periods but there are several documents that would work well on this page. Soviet military maps, World War II maps, surveys of many types. Please contact us if you know of any that we could include. Send an email by clicking Contact Be sure to include Lyakhovichi in your subject area and let us know about resources that will make this page better.


You can get to any page on this website using the links on the right hand side of the page, but because of the intimate connection between this page and other parts of our Geography section, we also include a link here to Early Maps of Lyakhovichi



Maps created in the investigation of Lyakhovichi property records in the Minsk Archives. These property records covered from 1878-1912 and it is not immediately clear if they represent any single year of that period.
