It is unclear where the border is shown exactly, but the Kharkiv province is depicted on this map, as well as the city of Kharkiv. The map shows all of the roads leading in and out of Kharkiv, illustrating how Kharkiv is central to the province and exemplifies its status of the administrative center of the province. This map is a part of a larger collection of “Russia in Europe” maps published in 1845. The map is in English and the bottom of the map states “Published by Charles Knight and Co. London”.
