Map Description
Old map of Buryatia, Irkutsk Oblast, Republic of, Russian Federation.
Ilimsk, Irkutsk, Selenga, Yakutsk, and Nerchinsk Districts, all shown with yellow shading and delineated by yellow boundary lines. The largest regional cities and towns are indicated. Olkhon Island, the largest island in Lake Baikal, is also visible. Northern parts of Imperial China are shown at the bottom of the map and are set off from Siberia by a conjoined yellow-and-green line. Russian areas to the west, such as parts of the Krasnoyarsk and Yeniseysk Districts, are distinguished by pink shading and a pink boundary line. The map was compiled by Johann Treskot (1719-86), a cartographer of British descent, and engraved by A. Medvedev. Treskot was a talented geodesist who was affiliated with the Geographical Department of the Russian Academy of Sciences. The scale of the map is 42 kilometers per centimeter. It indicates distance in versts, a tsarist-era unit of length equal to 1.07 kilometers. An inset in the upper-right-hand corner lists Lake Baikal and the Lena, Argun, Selenga, and Angara Rivers as the main regions shown on the map and gives the name of the compiler.

Map Sizing Information
- For the best legibility, order your map in the original size or larger. Most maps have intricate detail and small text that is best appreciated when the print size hasn't been reduced.
- Sizes labeled "Fits a Standard Frame" will drop right into any frame that you purchase in that size. The sizes that we offer are commonly available online and at most retail stores.
- Our standard sizes are recommendations based on the aspect ratio of the original map, but still may require some added "white space" in one dimension to fit.
- Non-standard sizes will require custom framing, and we suggest taking your print to the frame shop of your choice after you receive it for the best results.
- Custom sizes are available, simply contact us for a quote.
Below is an approximation of the scale of a few standard sizes, and how they might appear in your space.
