Plan of the town of Aleksandrovsk, Yekaterinoslav Province (PSZ Town Plans)

Plan of the town of Aleksandrovsk, Yekaterinoslav Province

urban history

This eye-catching plan is dominated by the fortress at the center and the trio of roads running out of town.

Take Note: 1) The legend mentions the presence of 351 homes; 2) the neighborhood of Voznesensk lies north of the Sukhaia Moskovka River and well outside the rest of the town.

Orientation: east (north is at left)

Does a River Run Through It? Yep! Aleksandrovsk is situated in between the "Wet" Moskva and the "Dry" Moskva rivers, and it is very near the left bank of the Dnieper River.

Live Like a Local! If you can stay out of prison and hospital, you will be fine. More or less. You will at least improve your chances of being fine.
