Abstract

The article presents the results of using cartographic materials of the Russian state of the XVII–XVIII centuries to identify small rural settlements in the scribal books of the XVI century when performing historical research currently being conducted. The work is carried out on the example of objects (settlements and landholdings) located on the territory of the Ruzsky District of the Moscow province in the XVI–XVIII centuries. For the epoch preceding the use of cartographic materials, tools based on the use of information provided exclusively in text form are identified and classified, using which it is possible to identify objects, information about which is contained in documents. With their use, the identification of the selected set of objects for conducting research was performed. The possibility and expediency of using cartographic materials of the XVII and XVIII centuries providing information in graphic form in addition to them is shown in a practical way, and the opportunities that open up in this case are also demonstrated. The estimates made showed that due to the use of cartographic materials of the Russian state of the XVII–XVIII centuries, it is possible to achieve an increase in the number of successful cases of identification of small rural settlements in the scribal books of the XVI century by 16 %. The set of information about small rural settlements formed during the implementation of these research can be used later to research the cycles of degradation and development of the territory of the Ruzsky District of the Moscow province, which replaced each other due to the influence of various circumstances that took place in the history of Russia during the XVI–XVIII centuries, to research changes in the names of objects over time and, ultimately, to research the reflection of the life of Russian society in documents and cartographic materials.
