Abstract
The analysis of old Russian and foreign maps and plans of Sevastopol, created in the 19th century, showed that already in the first decades after the founding of the city the gully (overgrown ravine) called Ushakova Balka became a full-fledged urban element, along with residential areas, industrial areas, and military fortifications. After the founding of Sevastopol, Ushakova Balka underwent very significant changes in all components of the landscape, both because of belligurative transformations and under the influence of economic activities associated with the proximity of city blocks, the construction of an aqueduct and a railway. Comparison of old and modern maps shows the inheritance of the main elements of the road and path network. Ushakova Balka is one of the oldest recreational sites in Sevastopol; therefore, the creation of protected areas here is expedient not only from a botanical point of view, but also from a historical and geographical point of view. In essence, this natural monument is a complex historicgeographical one.
