1239 Colbitzow I | 1239 Kołbaskowo I

The map is an appendix to the index of toponyms, which was developed as part of the project initiated by Pomeranian linguist, Dr Robert Holsten (1862-1954), with the aim to collect and compile contemporary folk and archive names of natural and anthropogenic physiographic objects, as well as inhabited and uninhabited places collected with local queries. The Meßtischblatt topographic maps at a scale of 1:25 000 are characterised by a very high level of detail and accuracy in mapping the topography of the terrain.

The 1239 Colbitzow I map was drawn in 1886, and published in 1887 (data based on the first copy). It covers the areas surrounding Colbitzow (Kolbitzow), Kreis Randow, Reg. Bez. Stettin, Prov. Pommern, today Kołbaskowo, Police District, West Pomeranian Voivodeship, Poland. It is one of the two surviving copies of the pre-war topographic map marked with the sheet number 1239, containing data on the location of objects and their names in the Flurnamen Sammlung archive. The printed map features a hand-drawn layer with the numbers of physiographic objects connected to the localities of Schwennenz, Ladenthin (both in Germany); Mandelkow (today: Będargowo).
