Historical cartographic materials of the XVIII–XIX centuries to assess the anthropogenic impact on the territory of mining districts (Pudemsky ironworks)

Abstract

Historical cartographic materials of the XVIII-XIX centuries allow us to assess the structure and trends of settlement in the territory adjacent to the Pudemsky ironworks of the Glazovsky district of the Vyatka province. The extensive nature of the use of natural resources and the dynamics of their development are demonstrated by the ironworks districts plans. The transformation of a series of historical maps and plans of the ironworks districts to a modern topo-base was performed, which provided comparability of a representative array of different-time sources.
