"No. 6: "Część połnocna Pruss
Elektorskich, Woiewodztwo Trockie y Xięstwo Żmudzkie."
(Northern part of the Elector's Prussia, the Voivodship of
Troki and the Duchy of Żmudź.) From SDL
When possible, the maps have been trimmed to show Wiżajny
framed by Suwalki to the south-east and Kalvarija (now in
Lithuania) to the north-east. It is interesting to note how
the name of the town varies in different time periods,
jurisdictions, and languages. On the left is possibly
Wiżajny's first appearance on a map. For any of the maps on
this page, you click on the picture to see a larger image.
