Collection No. 23. Krasnodar region and Adygea, 19-20 centuries

In the midst of the Caucasian War, the left bank of the Kuban is just beginning to come under the control of the tsarist troops. The mountainous part belongs entirely to the mountaineers. This determines the high detail in the lowlands and topographical inaccuracies in the mountainous areas. But, nevertheless, this is the first map of this quality compiled for the Caucasus. On this oldest map you will find a lot of redoubts and other defensive structures with which almost any settlement at that time was equipped. Not all of them have survived to this day, which promises the attentive researcher undisturbed battle sites with numerous artifacts. Collection sheet. Fragment of the map.

23.02. Military topographic map of the Caucasus region 1877, 5-layout Compiled by the topographic department of the Caucasian Military District. 5 versts correspond to a scale of 1:210,000 (1 cm = 2.1 km). The sheets highlighted in yellow are black and white, those highlighted in red are four-color (brown mountains, green forest). Sheet size A2 (60x40 cm) which corresponds to 120x80 km of terrain. The most detailed map of this area as of 1877. The Collection contains 12 sheets: Collection sheet. Fragment of the map.

23.02+. Alphabetical index to the 5-verst map of the Caucasus region in 1877. Tiflis edition 1913, republished in 2007. Large alphabetical list of all settlements shown on the previous map. It is very convenient to search for specific localities. It is shown on which sheet and in which square this or that village, village, hamlet. Cover and sample.

23.A4. Special 10-verst map of European Russia, (Strelbitsky). Print 1870-1930, scale 10 versts per inch (1:420,000 or 1 cm = 4.2 km). Quite detailed, rich in details, with good drawing.

Sheet 78 (Stavropol). Comparison fragment, many disappeared farms

23.03. Map of the Stavropol Diocese of 1889(map of Arkhangelsk), 10 versts in an inch (1 cm = 4.2 km).

23.04. Map of the Kuban region and the Black Sea province close to it. 1902(Ivanenkov’s map) Interesting and quite detailed map. There is even more information than 5 layouts (see samples).

23.05. Geological map of the Kuban Oil-bearing region 1912 1-layout (1cm=420m)!!! Pre-revolutionary maps of this scale are extremely rare for our region. Perhaps the only modest analogue of these maps is the insets in Ivanenkov’s map (plans of cities in the South of Russia), made on a scale of one mile. But these are sidebars, and these are full-fledged layouts of the Kuban region with appropriate detail and content! Unfortunately, the coverage of the maps is small: part of the Seversky, Krymsky districts and the territory subordinate to Novorossiysk.
Example map. And an example of the same section of a modern map
There are 9 sheets in total, these are Prefabricated 1 and Prefabricated 2 - the covered areas are visible on them.

more details about the card 06.23.

There is not much information, but the scale of 1:20,000 is unique for those times and places! Despite the fact that these maps were intended for navigation, cities, towns, farmsteads, isolated factories, and areas of cultivated land adjacent to the river are indicated. There are also abandoned settlements - see the example on the right (the resolution is greatly reduced). Coverage: along the Protoka River - the entire river, see collection sheet. Along the Labe - from the confluence with the Kuban to Kurganinsk; R. Belaya - from the confluence with the Kuban to the village of Khanskaya (this is above the city of Belorechensk).

more about the map 23.7.8.

The map is unique, not like ordinary military maps, but quite detailed. It is of considerable interest due to the fact that it shows many settlements that do not exist today. This is due to many reasons - famine, war, and later the peaceful consolidation of settlements. In addition - the map is of interest to local historians - the unique names of communes, farmsteads and villages given to them during the era of collectivization have been preserved. Subsequently, a significant part of these settlements was abolished.
Set of 19 sheets. Collection sheet. and Fragment from Ust-Lab.
An example of an ancient and modern map. The vicinity of the village of Ivanovskaya. Pay attention to the continuous development of the bend of the Angelinsky Erik. Now this is nothing. In the example, the image resolution is reduced by half.

Administrative-territorial unit of the Russian Empire, the territory of the Kuban Cossack army, which existed in 1860-1918. The administrative center is the city of Ekaterinodar.

In the west, the Kuban region was washed by the Sea of ​​Azov, the Kerch Strait and a small part of the Black Sea, in the south it bordered with and, from which it was separated by the main Caucasus ridge; in the east with (separated from it by Elbrus and its spurs, constituting the watershed between the Kuban basin on one side, the Terek and Kuma on the other) and with; to the north - with, from which it was separated by the river Eya and its tributary Kugoey.

History of the formation of the Kuban region

On February 8, 1860, in order to simplify the management and streamline the territories occupied by Cossack troops, a decree was issued to separate the right wing of the Caucasian line from the Stavropol province and name it the Kuban region.

On December 30, 1869, all the old administrative units of the Kuban region were abolished, and in their place 5 districts were formed: Batalpashinsky, Yeisk, Ekaterinodar, Maikop and Temryuk. On January 27, 1876, Zakubansky (center - the locality of Goryachiy Klyuch) and Caucasian (center - the village of Armavir) districts were formed. In 1888, instead of 7 districts, 7 departments were established: Batalpashinsky, Yeisk, Ekaterinodar, Caucasian, Labinsky, Maykop and Temryuk. At the same time, the Black Sea District, which had previously been independent, became part of the province (in 1896 it became a separate Black Sea Governorate).

On January 28, 1918, the Kuban Regional Military Rada, headed by N. S. Ryabovol, proclaimed an independent Kuban People's Republic with its capital in Yekaterinodar on the lands of the former Kuban region.

After the Bolsheviks occupied the “capital of Kuban” - Yekaterinodar, in March 1918, they formed the Kuban Soviet Republic on April 16, 1918.

At the beginning of the 20th century, the Kuban region included 7 departments:
