These maps were used by Latvian Army in 1927. The maps were prepared on basis of cartographic materials from 1911. As known, until 1939 Latvia was an independent European state. By Stalin-Hitler agreement, Latvia was occupied by Soviet Army and stood in Soviet Union up to 1991. During Soviet period, roads and populated places were reconstructed and historical names changed. Maps of Latvian Army are indisputable proof of borders and old geographical names. These represent value for both scientific purposes and for people searching for their background and roots.
