Eastern Galicia Ethnographic Map 1939

A demographic map of the ethnic populations of southwestern Ukraine (historic eastern Galicia) created by the demographer and geographer Volodymyr Kubiyovych, estimated from various data sources for the beginning of 1939, and published in 1953 by the Association of Ukrainian Former Combatants in Great Britain. Circle sizes scale to village and town populations, squares to cities, and colors indicate the proportions of Ukrainians, Poles, Jews, and other populations in each. The original paper document is in the extensive map collection of Harrie Teunissen and John Steegh, who provided Gesher Galicia with a digital scan and a copy of the introductory notes (pdf: 13MB); an excellent summary of this text is included in their online exhibition Jewish history on the map.
