Index to Map Images
Latvia and The Baltics
1991 A.D - 1998 A.D.


This image index is a guide to Latvia Maps available at The Perry-Castaneda Library (PCL) Map Collection.   Maps scanned by PCL General Libraries are in the public domain. No permissions are required to download and copy them.  

The 9 maps found in the PCL collection of Latvia Maps describe national boundaries, capitals, cities, hydrology, transportation, nuclear facilities, and various other features of Latvia, the Baltic States, and the Baltic Sea.   The original source maps for 7 of the 9 image scans are identified as being produced by the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency. One image scan is identified as being produced by U.S. Department of State. One image scan does not note an identifier.

Preview images found on this page are designed to offer readers the opportunity to quickly and easily assess informational content of PCL source maps. Each preview image is accompanied by a description detailing countries, water bodies, roads, and other features noted on the PCL source map. Common descriptors include:

Map ID unique identifier provided on the PCL source image
PCL Image direct link to the full sized image at PCL. Image dimensions in pixels and file size in Kb are noted.
PageView direct link to a "portrait print page" image view. Image dimensions in pixels and file size in Kb are noted.
Map Notes components of the source map; "*bottom right" indicates that that particular reference note is located on the bottom right hand side of the source map image.

More About Image Sizes

This image index provides the reader with a series of image sizes for a variety of needs. Preview images are smaller, faster loading, and generally show much less detail. PCL Source images are large, take longer to download, and show the most detail. PageView rescales were created as a compromise between the two. We have found that a map width of 665 pixels and map height of 875 pixels will comfortably print onto a "letter-size" portrait page. Images which are significantly larger than these dimensions will require more than one page to print. The PageView rescales of the PCL source images are designed to accomondate the "printed page". They contain more details than the preview image maps while constraining source image map extents to a single page.
