Of the 59 sheets of the Piadyshev atlas, only one includes mosques in its legend. If you were to take the atlas as an authoritative source for the cultural geography of the empire, you would have no choice but to conclude that there were but four mosques in the entire Russian Empire, and that all of those mosques were located within 175 kilometers (roughly 100 miles) of each other, along the Akshi-kun and Nura rivers, both of which flow into Lake Kurgaldzhin in Omsk province. (<a href="http://worldmap.harvard.edu/maps/russianempire/T6M" target="_blank">Click here to see them on the interactive map</a>.) Why did the Military-Topographical Depot choose to include these mosque locations, and not the thousands of others dotting the landscape of the Volga provinces and Tavrida? A question worth mulling, to be sure.

Title A name given to the resource Monasteries Description An account of the resource <div style="text-align: left;">The atlas legend does not differentiate between types of monastic institutions.

Together they spread across 29 provinces, including guberni and oblasti, plus Finland. (<a href="http://worldmap.harvard.edu/maps/russianempire/T6T" target="_blank">Click here to see them on the interactive map</a>.) As the maps included here suggest, monasteries are located in a range of settings: on desolate islands in the White Sea, near the hustle and bustle of thickly-settled towns, in remote recesses of the empire, and everywhere in between.</div> Subject The topic of the resource religious space Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived <a href="http://dighist.fas.harvard.edu/projects/imperiia/items/show/321" target="_self">Geographical Atlas of the Russian Empire</a>, 1820-1827 [Piadyshev Atlas] https://s3.amazonaws.com/atg-prod-oaas-files/imperiia/original/9f4cb9db62f911f8da8e0a8716e9397a.png 6ac3a071f4ab20f4f6d1ae69991d1270 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

For more information see, http://dublincore.org/documents/dces/. Title A name given to the resource Rivers Description An account of the resource Russia was a riverine-boreal empire, replete with rivers ranging from the mighty Volga to the seasonal streams washing down hillsides in the Caucasian highlands. Rivers were a fundamental element of Russia's spatial profile, and they are a fundamental element of the Piadyshev atlas. The men of the Military-Topographical Depot of the Army General Staff scrupulously drew thousands of rivers, inscribing their courses and their names on each individual sheet, interrupting their graceful lines whenever they intersected a provincial boundary and picking up the watery narrative on the adjacent sheet. As a result, these are two of the most substantial layers in the set. Altogether there are 21,997 features, most of which represent the full course of a river or stream. (In some cases, the course is broken up into segments.) Of these, 1,935 features bear toponyms (hydronyms, to be precise), 651 of which have been recorded. This subset is available on the Imperiia Map; the full set is available upon request and will be published in the Imperiia dataverse in coming months. The final version of the dataset will include the complete set of hydronyms.  For those of you keeping track of such things, the shortest river given a name on the Piadyshev atlas is the 28-kilometer Varuzha River in Vitebsk province. The longest - and the longest overall - is the Lena River, which stretches 3,712 kilometers (the modern measure is 4,472 kilometers) from the Baikal region to its mouth on the Arctic Ocean.
