Устные сведения и картографические материалы о дорогах XVIII в. и о заселении Среднего Притомья

Abstract

The article considers the possibilities of studying the process of settling by Russian old-timers of the free lands of the Middle Tom region on the border of the Kuznetsk and Tomsk districts (the north of the part of Krapivino district of the Kemerovo region). For this, the author uses the oral traditions at his disposal about the roads from the Kuznetsk fortress to the Mungatsky prison, and foundation of russian old-timers countries. This information is supplemented by a map created by the surveyor P. G. Chichagov in 1720–1729.
