Geometric special plan of the Borovsky district of the village of Rudnev. Paid binding of general survey plans (PGM). Maps of Smolensk province
A few years ago, almost simultaneously with 3 layouts, even older ones appeared - PGM cards. Plans for general surveying, in the majority, were drawn up before 1800 and have a layout scale.
The usefulness of such a map in searching with a metal detector is 100% obvious, but... I rarely open them, although there are all the places where I dig. The first disappointment came when I could not tie them. Secondly, what can I see on them that is not on the 3rd layout? Where there were tables of the fair there (which is a pity).
It seems that there are old maps of high detail, on which even individual houses are indicated (in some places and sheds, cool!) ... But it is very difficult to get real practical use from them. Okay, it's impossible to accurately attach to the coordinates, but flaws come out even in small things.
There are 3 houses on the PGM map in the farm, there are 5 of them on the detecting point. According to the map, they stand in a row, in fact, there are “chess” between them at 50 meters. And any discrepancy between such cards (and their summation) comes out as empty time on the detective.
Story 1
We found a farm on the PGM, which was not on the three-verstage ... And I know that the layouts have a very large error, and you should not rely on the coordinates. "Tied" to the hills, which seem to have remained in place and were visible on the General Staff.
We arrived, wandered around “crosses” for 3 hours trying to localize the house ... Moreover, they didn’t look for bricks, then such houses were wooden - they looked out for clay shards, “called out” horse meat, or in general at least something from that time. Result 0.
There were several such attempts, and not only me.
Story 2
We gathered at the plowed village. According to the layout, they figured out the central estate, which was also called a stone house (at that time it was mega fat). 2 hours passed ... As a result, the real finds appeared only when we moved 200 meters from the originally planned point.
If they had arrived, and immediately set off on a broad reconnaissance (and did not stagnate in the “exact” place), they would have localized much faster.
Outcome
So it happened that my main cards are . The accuracy is tolerable, the detail is average. The most important thing is that I don’t waste so much time with them when localizing on the spot.
I specifically asked my comrades - does anyone have a real example of how the PGM map led to a detecting point? Moreover, such that the PGM is the only source of information, and without it these finds would not have happened. So far, we do not have such an example, although most of the PGM cards have))
P.S. Pay attention ➨ ➨ ➨ Bomb theme - . Take a look, you won't regret it.

General land surveying - measures to establish the exact boundaries of individual possessions, carried out in Russia from 1765 until the end of the 18th century. The materials of the General Land Survey that have survived to our time are various plans for land plots (both one plot and general, for example, of any county), economic notes to the plans (contain information about possessions, lands belonging to individual villages, villages, as well as information about the occupations of the population), boundary books (contain a description of the boundaries of a particular area), field notes (contain various documents compiled directly during the survey, for example, boundary moves, disputes, announcements of owners, oaths of witnesses), etc.

Historical information on the province
Smolensk province - an administrative entity within Russia that existed until 1917.It bordered from the north and northeast with the province of Tver, with the east - Moscow and Kaluga, with the southeast - Oryol, with the south - Chernigov, with the west - Mogilev, with the northwest - Vitebsk and Pskov; was between 53°5" and 56°36"N. sh. and between 30°9" and 3°85"E. e. The greatest extent of the lips. from N to S 340 in., from E to W - 280 in. The area of the provinces, according to Strelbitsky's calculation, is 49,212 sq. in. (according to general land surveying 46746 sq. m.), including under rivers and lakes 56956 dess. and under the swamps 303752 dec. Making up part of the Central Russian Upland, heading from the northwest lips. from the Valdai, or Alaunskaya, flat hill to the south in the bay. Oryol and Mogilev, S. lips. occupies the south. and east. its slopes, and therefore the most elevated part of the lips. located in the north. counties - Belsky and Sychevsky, where at the origins of pp. Osugi and Luchesa heights reach 1010 feet. above ur. sea, while the lowest areas lie in the south of the lips. in uu. Krasninsky, Roslavl and Elninsky, and their height reaches only 756 feet. at Zabolotye, 735 ft. at Tolbin and 707 ft. at Khotysin. Vost. part of the lips. represents a flat, treeless character, and the western one is enumerated in different directions by undulating flat chains of hills that accompany the course of rivers and form in some places steep slopes into their valleys; these chains of hills also serve as a watershed for the tributaries of the Dvina and the Dnieper and separate the tributaries of the latter from the tributaries of the Oka, Desna and Sozha to the south, and from the tributaries of the Volga to the north; on B they, going from Gzhatsk to Yukhnov, form the outskirts of the Moscow Basin. The entire Belsky district, with the adjacent parts of Porechsky and Dukhovshchinsky, is deepened in the middle, as a result of which the water, having no free flow, formed swamps of enormous size and many lakes here. Relief features of S. lips. due mainly to the alluvial action of the ice age, which deposited the material unevenly transferred by it, and the erosion of the waters - this is why sometimes places lying to the north have a lower height than places lying to the south; so - the city of Vyazma lies at an altitude of 833 feet, and the city of Roslavl - 857 feet. and Cheluty, in Yelninsky district. - 880 ft.
Administrative division
The Smolensk province was formed in 1708 as part of 17 cities with counties: Smolensk, Roslavl, Dorogobuzh, Vyazma, Bely, Pogoreloye Gorodishche, Zubtsov, Staritsa, Serpeisk, Kozelsk, Meshchovsk, Mosalsk, Likhvin, Borisovo-Gorodishche, Przemysl, Vorotynsk, Odoev.
In 1713, the province was disbanded, most of it went to the Riga province.
In 1726, the Smolensk province was recreated as part of 5 counties: Smolensk, Belsky, Vyazemsky, Dorogobuzh and Roslavl.
In 1775 the province was transformed into the Smolensk governorate. 7 new counties were formed: Gzhatsky, Elninsky, Kasplyansky, Krasninsky, Porechsky, Ruposovsky, Sychevsky. After 2 years, Ruposovsky district was transformed into Yukhnovsky, and Kasplinsky - into Dukhovshchinsky.
In 1796 the Smolensk governorship again became a province. At the same time, the Dukhovshchinsky, Elninsky and Krasninsky counties were abolished (restored in 1802).
In 1918, the Porechsky district was renamed Demidovsky. A year later, the Mstislavl district of the Gomel province entered the province.
In 1922 the Krasninsky district was abolished. Goretsky district was transferred from the Gomel province, and Yukhnovsky district went to the Kaluga province.
In 1924, Goretsky and Mstislavl counties were transferred to the BSSR. A year later, Dukhovshchinsky district was transformed into Yartsevsky.
In 1927, the Demidov and Dorogobuzh uyezds were abolished, and a year later the Gzhatsk, Elninsk, and Sychevsky uyezds were abolished.
In 1929 Smolensk Governorate was abolished, and its territory became part of the Western Region.

There are a huge number of old maps in the public domain. Most of which have a graph and therefore are relatively easy to bind. These cards have long been "in circulation" and almost all interesting places over the years they have been "knocked out" by search engines. But there is another type of map that is overlooked: PGM (General Land Survey Plans).
Characteristics of PGM:
Good scale (1-2 versts in an inch)
Very detailed (all applied settlements, farms, roads and point objects)
The year of publication is usually from 1700 to 1820 - i.e. the most interesting in monetary terms
Relatively little used by search engines due to the complexity of working with them
PGM binding is a complex, very time-consuming task:
First you need to accurately glue the card into one sheet. This is complicated by the fact that the number of fragments reaches fifty! In addition, the cards are often glued to the canvas with a gap, which also requires preliminary re-gluing of the card sheets themselves, after which they are already glued into a huge canvas.
Color correction and contrast enhancement. The cards are many years old, faded and hard to read. We improve the quality of perception of information from maps.
PGM is not a classic map, but actually a drawing. Here there is no grid to which one could be attached, and errors in the image of objects can reach large values. And these errors must be minimized.
How do we link cards?
Professional software of surveyors is used. Landmarks from modern topographic maps and satellite images are taken as reference (reference) points. The map is then "stretched" over these reference points using triangulation, linear, affine, or polynomial transformations (depending on the map). Several tens of points are used, a projection is selected. At the output, we get a file straightened geometrically (at the same time, it seems to be "corrected" so that the image more accurately matches the terrain). We will convert this file for you into Ozf2 + map file format. Upon request, we add kmz for Google Earth, rmp for Magellan Triton, jnx for new Garmins for free.
What is the binding accuracy?
The accuracy of the binding very much depends on the scale of your map, the year of compilation, the region (the farther from Moscow the less accurate the maps are), the edition and the degree of change in the terrain in a particular sheet. On average, the error in tying odnoverstok is less than 150 (usually 40-50) meters. For two-verst PGM - 200-250 (usually 80-120) m. This does not mean that the whole map will have some kind of shift. On the contrary - most of the map will "lay down" perfectly, but in some places there may be an error. On separate sheets far from civilization (Siberia, Russian north), the error may be higher.
How fast is the binding?
From a day to a week, depending on employment. When ordering, the lead time must be indicated. Please take into account the laboriousness of the work and order the binding in advance.
Map sources?
Most of the PGMs are freely available, some are in our private collection. You can also send your cards.
How to send cards?
As you wish. We can provide FTP, or upload it to Yandex.Disk, for example, and send a link to your mail.
Example:
Cost and payment
The cost of linking one county - from 400 to 1500 rubles (depending on the complexity, number of sheets and the need for their gluing). Payment is possible in electronic currencies, through express payment terminals or in another way convenient for you as agreed.
