Posted: Sun Dec 10, 2017 5:39 pm Post subject: Searching for Polish village of Miloszow on Mapster

I am looking for the Polish village of Miloszow, Poland, located on the southwest border between Poland and the Czech Republic. This village is about 170 kilometres southwest the city of Wroclaw, Poland. More specifically, I'm trying to locate this village on a historical map, such as those located on the Polish Mapster website link below. The closest square on the Mapster map grid I could locate is: P48-S30-F KRAKOW. But I have not not able to find this village on these maps. Typing "Miloszow, Poland" in the Mapster website search box also produces a series of maps, but again, I can't seem to find this village. I've included the location of Miloszow on a Google map within this posting, but again, I'm trying to find this village within any of the historical maps on the Mapster website (link below).

Thanks for any help in finding this village on a historical map of Poland, such as the historical maps located within the Mapster website link noted below.

Hi,

I'm sorry to say that you will not find the village on the map whose link you posted. The area is in Śląsk. Although that area had been part of the Poland in the Early Middle Ages, it was beyond the boundaries of the historic Polish State for Centuries. It only became Polish territory after WWII and thus will not appear on earlier historic maps of Poland.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.

Wishing you success in your research,

Dave

In what county was Śląsk part of before World War ll? Czechoslovakia? I'm okay with searching for this village if it was part of another country during the 20th century.

Prior to 1945 Miłoszów was a part of Germany and was named Hartmannsdorf.

If you are looking for historical maps of Miłoszów then I assume that you have searched under the historical name of the town - Hartmannsdorf ?

If you Google Hartmannsdorf "Kreis Lauban" and then go to the Google Images option I think that you will find lots of maps going back to the mid-18th century.
