Kobrin Town Center Tourist Map 2014

A highly-detailed multi-color street and tourist map in Russian of the town center of Kobryn in southwestern Belarus, published by Belkartografia in 2014. Kobryn is known in Russian as Kobrin and in Yiddish as קאָברין. The map labels major and minor streets throughout central Kobryn, and a street index on the front side of the map lists and locates all of the streets keyed to the grid on the map; the front side also shows the streets of greater Kobryn outside the center. A legend at lower left defines many symbols on the map which identify tourist services and cultural sites; below, more than 40 museums, theaters, sports complexes, and other tourist attractions are listed with contact info and numbered markers on the map. Six architectural monuments and natural features of the city are illustrated with photos, and a brief history of the town is included as well. Kobryn grew to 10,000 residents before WWI, of which more than 80% were Jewish. Surviving Jewish heritage is rare in the town; the Jewish cemetery northwest of the town center is marked on the front side of the map map with crosses, but the semi-ruined former Great Synagogue is marked, illustrated, and described here as a landmark.
