These maps are part of a large map of central Russia - war period issue - showing mainly a section of Trans-Siberian rail line from Moscow via Samara to Krasnoyarsk with a link from Archangielsk via Vologda, Vietka and Perm escaping the Ural Mountains. Perm to Krasnoyarsk section has practically all major stations marked up and named.

Louise's grandmother's map 1. Submitted by Louise Blazejowska. This part of the map is of Cental/Southern Russia from Tambor to Penza to Samara and Uralsk. This section includes very important places for us; namely Buzuluk and Tockoye by Samara (Kuybishev) where Gen. Anders started to form the Polish Forces. The circles are around Penza, Samara, Saratov and Carycyn. Saratov was linked up to Tatishchevo where a Polish hospital was established and again it was a major joining point for Poles entering the Army. I believe that Penza and Carycyn are incidental line-changing places. The names of places on the maps are of old style and many have been changed on modern maps. The place names are useful to us as many people have some kind of documents marked in that style. These maps cover the area of Russia and not the present day Kazachstan (noted by Antoni Kazimierski)
