and villages, together with lakes, rivers and streams, mills,

S. a. (undated). A unique map composed with use of Swedish cartographic
documents. It is supposed Peter I himself took part in measuring
water depths in the mouth of Neva (however, the original depth
measures had been made by Carl Eldberg until 1703). One of the
first maps where the word “Petersburg” was printed,
but it was connected only with the punch on Hare Island, marking
the Fortress location. The present copy is from map collection
of the “Study of Peter the Great”, organized in the
Chamber of Curiosities (Kunstkamera).
