Map Refresh: 40 New Colonies in Ukraine

This week we added 40 new colonies along with lots of sources. Total colonies found: 3,557.

Dennis has been doing a second pass at Stumpp maps, AHSGR #21-25, to catch any missed colonies and rule out any duplicates.  He's doing a terrific job on these, as always.  We're getting closer and closer to standardizing all the data on the Google maps. Stumpp map #23 is still in review, so more updates will be coming from that one. The full map names are at the bottom of this post for those keeping track, and Dennis' PDF list – the list that started it all – is also updated on the Maps page.

Several colony group maps were updated, and one new map was added for scattered colonies in the Yekaterinoslav area (modern-day Dnipro). Some of these colonies may move into other groups, but like for Kherson and Taurida, we have now have a scattered colony group for Yekaterinoslav.

The following maps have been updated:
Beresan Colonies
Dobrudscha Colonies
Don Cossacks Colonies
Early Black Sea Colonies
Kherson Colonies
Kronau Colonies
Taurien Colonies
Yekaterinoslav Colonies (new)
Black Sea Area
