Estonian Inter-war maps New information and maps supplemented chapter of 2-verst (1:84000) maps of Russian Empire, chapter of German First World war period maps maps in scale 1:126000 (3-werst per inch) "Karte Europaisches Russland 1:126000" and chapter of Inter-war (1918-1940) Estonian maps. Interesting that Estonian topographers 1918-1922* republished series of Russian verst-scale (0.5, 1, 2. 3- verst maps) maps practically without changes in content (generally place-names were translated into Estonian).

Extended News
