Glowing orange dots reveal apple orchards that were registered as state properties in the early years of Russian imperial rule. But there’s much more! As you explore the map and its many layers, you will discover a great variety of fruit trees as well as the celebrated Crimean vineyards - all 332 of them! For an added layer of analysis, compare their historical locations with the modern sites of orchards (yellow), vineyards (red), and the forests (green) across the Crimean mountains. You might even find yourself contemplating the anthropogenic impact on the landscape. So go ahead, tour the gardens!plain2026-04-16T17:28:02-04:00Anastasiia Pereverten1dee3aa5075817eb04077dbae88a1030d7d4ebb4
