Labun and nearby communities, 1955.  For scale, Starokostyantyniv is about 20 miles from Labun; Polonne, about 10 miles; Hrytsiv, about 8 miles.  Red lines indicate roads.  The black lines with hatch marks are rail lines:  single hatch=single track; double hatch=double track.  The nearest rail access for Labun was in Polonnoye.  Special thanks to Peter Myers who found the source map in a New York City bookstore ("The Map of Ukraine," Sponsored by the League of Americans of Ukrainian Descent, State Organization of Ukrainian Congress Committee of America, Chicago, Illinois, 1955).
