The idea behind the so-called \u2018special maps\u2019 of palatinates was presented to King Stanis\u0142aw August Poniatowski in 1779. Perth\u00e9es\u2019s goal was to prepare the particular maps and use them as the primary source for the general map of the whole state and thus give a more accurate and detailed representation than the Zannoni map (1772, 1:690,000). Perth\u00e9es’s method of work, unlike Austrian or Prussian cartographers of that period, did not encompass triangulation and field surveys but involved the using parish surveys as topographic descriptions, quasi-cartographic sketches elaborated on their basis, and – at the end – the map. Consequently, the maps are quite reliable in terms of attributes, but their geometric precision is low and errors could reach 20-25 kilometers. The first map drawn by Perth\u00e9es covered the Mazowsze Palatinate (1783), as the Diocese of P\u0142ock, which made up the majority of the area, had already an existing survey. It\u2019s worth noting that there was a second, ameliorated, version of this map drawn in 1798 based on a refined survey. Other maps drawn from 1784 to 1804 covered the entire Crown except for Gniezno and Sieradz Palatinates which, for unknown reasons, weren\u2019t drawn. Out of 12 maps, 5 were printed in the Paris Tardieu printing house, 7 remained in manuscripts, 2 of which remain until today in the form of poor photocopies. A list of special maps with their dates of preparation and material form is given below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n The maps\u2019 content is typical for a medium-scale topographic map of these times (cf. figure below). First of all, settlements are represented and distinguished according to three criteria: type (towns, villages, and other settlements), ecclesiastical function, and size. As for villages, there are parish villages, villages with a Latin or an Orthodox church, or a monastery. In terms of size, these are „long and large villages\u201d, „villages”, „smaller villages” or „even smaller villages” (the last two are depicted only on the map of Podlasie). A separate symbol for so-called Dutch settlements (pl: \u201cOl\u0119dry\u201d) is included, „Romunki”, or „New settlements”. Industrial facilities include e.g. mills, inns, and windmills. Separate symbols represent settlements\u2019 attributes like post offices or leases. The settlement network is supplemented by roads, rivers, lakes, forests, swamps, and a schematic relief shown by hachures. In effect, all 9 points from the parish surveys are covered by the map legend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Fragment of a Lublin palatinate map: Zemborzyce vicinities (near Lublin).<\/p>\n\n\n\n Main references:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Alexandrowicz, S.
