Polish Military Tactical Map:

Click on the square for Drohiczyn (P40 S40 in the matrix), keep clicking on the links (600 dpi) and you will get a detailed area map.  Click again to zoom in further. "Kol. Jakowlewo" is on the right edge, about 1/4 of the way down from the top. The detail is so exquisite that you can actually count the houses.

This mapping survey started in the years 1869 to 1887 and continued during the first years of World War I. The scale of basic sheets are 1:25.000 or 1:12.500.
