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.
