c. 1700, Fluvius Newa e lacu Ladoga... Augsburg, Matthew Seutter
A map of the flow of the Neva River from Lake Ladoga towards the Baltic Sea. This was probably the first of a series of maps which showed the entire course of the river.

?1710, Topographische Vorstellung der Neuen Russischen Haupt-residenz und See Stadt St. Petersburg... Nuremberg, Johannes Homann.
This map is as much a tribute to Czar Peter the Great as it is a plan of his capital city. A portrait of the czar is surrounded by the Muses and representations of the classical sciences, and surmounted by the motto "He transferred the country that was u sed to war towards the arts of peace." Although the map has been dated 1710, it was clearly made many years after that, since it shows the city at a stage of development that was not reached until long after 1710.

1722, Theatre de la Guerre dans la Petite Tartarie la Crimee, La Mer Noire... Amsterdam, Jean Covens and Corneille Mortier
Based on the work of Guillaume de Lisle, this map shows the area of the Crimean Peninsula which was used by Peter the Great to conduct his war against the Ottoman Empire.

1734, Ingermanlandiae seu Ingriae novissima Tabula, maker and place of origin unknown.
A map of what is now the Baltic States, and the area around St. Petersburg.

1780, Planisphere suivant la Projection de Mercator, maker and place of origin unknown

c.1785, Carte de la Petite Tartarie, Amsterdam, Pierre Schenck, Henry de Leth
Based on a Russian map, this appears to have been drawn after Russia's annexation of the Crimean Khanate in 1783. The inscription mentions a Russian Empress, and the most likely candidate is Catherine the Great, who ruled from 1762 to 1796 and who engine ered Russia's takeover of the Crimea.

1853, Chart shewing the North West Passage, London, E.A. Inglefield and W.H. Fawkener
