Latvian topographic maps scaled 1:75000 were published 1924-1935 by the Geodesic - Topographic
Division of Latvian army headquarters (Armijas Štāba Ģeodēzijas Topogrāfijas Dala). These maps, which
include parts of Estonia, Russia, Belarus and Lithuania, were updated versions of Russian Empire maps, dating
from as far back as 1880, scaled 1:84000 (Двухверстная карта западного пограничного пространства).
Maps are arranged and numbered according to the index map below. Lithuanian topographic maps from the
same period are arranged directly beneath these maps, in roughly the appropriate geographic position.
