This core map is significant to my geographical feature of Nizhni-Novgorod because it is an excellent example of lithography, the reference grid navigation system, and has a detailed list of features within the city/fair while showing its strategic location at the confluence of two major rivers (Volga/Oka) in 1914. When telling the story of Nizhni-Novgorod, seeing all the available options of transportation (both within and without) the city is vital when looking through the lens of transportation and trade in the Russian Empire.
