The towns and cities are designated by their German names since the nobility and the Duke were of German heritage. The rivers, somewhat incongruously, are given their common Latvian names.
This map uses a Mercator projection.
[edit] References
The basic map was developed from Shepherd:
- Shepherd, William R., (1911), "Europe, 1740" in Historical Atlas, p. 131.
Modifications were made based on other resources including:
- Hammond Historical World Atlas, Hammond World Atlas Corporation, (2000).
