Nine administrative subdivisions are in Old Siberia: Pelym, Verchoturye, Yekaterinburg, Turinsk, Tyumen and Tobolsk uezds, province of Iset, district of Yalutorovsk. Redoubts and fortresses of ‘New Ishim border line’. fortresses of ‘Irtysh border line’, ‘Steppe of nomadic Kirgiskaisaks’. Thirteen uezds in the rest of Siberia. Cities, slobodas and villages at well known (for descriptor) parts are situated pretty rough: regular mix ups of the river banks, some important settlements are absent, some small random points may appear on the map.

In the 1620-30s, on some maps, instead of the city Sibiria/Sibir, Tobol metroplis Sibiriae appears – by this time, the Siberian Khanate (and its capital Sibir) had not existed for about half a century – since the Russian conquest. Meanwhile, maps reproducing old authoritative samples also continued to be printed. Sometimes in the same atlas, maps giving information of varying relevance coexist, with a gap of several decades or more.

Urban Development and Industrialization: Siberian Cities Before and After the Age of Railway Capitalism
Siberian cities were formed as administrative units through late XVII – early XIX century. Representation of the power, military capabilities and authorities’ superiority was the main function of any city in Siberia under Muscovite Tsardom as well as early Russian Empire. These administrative units magnetized other types of settle – merchant and post road free settlements (torgovyye i yamskiye slobody), ethnic communities, and rarely industrial localities (zavody). Otherwise any city distinct by military facilities was a center of a cluster for different population groups practicing mixed types of activity at different localities.
