Description: A geo-political map of Russia and Roumania (Romania) showing country borders current to 1904, capitals and major cities, railroad lines, canals and navigable rivers. Physical features include mountain ranges with elevation measured in feet, major rivers and watersheds, lowlands, water depths in feet for large lakes and the 100-fathom line in the offshore waters. Generalized elevations shown as land below sea level colored dark green (Caspian Sea region) land below 1,000 feet colored light green, and land above 1,000 feet in elevation colored brown. Blue striped areas of the map indicate the distribution of Black Earth (rich Chernozemic soils of the Ukrain and southern Volga provinces). The Russian boundaries on this map extend from Warsaw in the west to the Ural Mountains in the East.
