Reliability evaluation of some of the so-called Parish Sketches by Karol Perthées on the example of the settlement network of the Gostynin County

Summary/Abstract: This article evaluates the reliability of a part of the Geograficzno-statystyczne opisanie parafiów Królestwa Polskiego (Geographical-Statistical Description of the Parishes of the Kingdom of Poland, called Parish Sketches) on the example of the settlement network of the then Gostynin County (Greater Poland Province). The area under examination was made up of three deaneries with 23 parishes. Settlement network data were collected from the selected verification maps, and then a common database with all the acquired information was developed. The analysed Parish Sketches were compared with the special map of the Poznań Province and other cartographic materials in terms of their content. The resulting quantitative and qualitative analyses made it possible to assess the correctness of the Parish Sketches as a source document for developing a special map.
