Street. It is a blind part of the main street, closed by a bus turn-table. The street does
not continue straight to Star
´
Harcov.
General Comparison
The map from 1858 does not display this locality. However, it can be assumed that
there were not any buildings or streets there. The map from 1899 shows a part of a
path as a borderline between woods and a field. Neither this map is complete and
that is why it is not clear where the path ends. The whole locality is finally shown on
the map from 1932.
Street Network
The main street itself (Bˇezinova Street) is displayed in the same way on all the
maps. The street network with branches is displayed on the map from 1932, where
there are two perpendicular and one parallel street running out of the main street.
The same layout is shown on the other later maps without any major changes. The
maps from 1932, 1939, 1943 and 1981 display roads going to the neighbouring part
of Liberec (Star´ Harcov). In contrast to this, the present map displays B
ˇ
ezinova
Street closed by the bus turn-table with symbols of paths as the only connection
with the neighbouring locality.
The map from 1981 shows a symbol of a red dashed line with identification
number 21. This is supposed to be the bus line in the studied locality. The line ends
at the point of present turn-table, although it is not displayed on the map from 1981.
The present map also displays a bus stop, but from its location we can see that the
display of nowadays bus line is different from the map from 1981.
Housing Development
On the maps from 1899 to 1910 there are not any symbols of residences, there are
only fields and meadows. However, the symbol for an important building on the
map from 1910 shows a building marked as Hochwasser-Beh¨lter (water station),
which is still there. At this point on the maps from 1932 to 1939 there is quite a
special relief symbol (symbol of a rectangular ground plan) The water station is not
displayed on later maps (1943, 1981, present)
Symbols of residence buildings are displayed the map as late as from 1932, when
there are about fifty symbols of buildings and the water station in the studied
locality. The map from 1939 shows the same situation with a few more symbols.
A remarkable feature of the map is a symbol of a line showing the border of the
town (see the legends), which is going through the locality and divides it into two
asymmetric parts.
The map from 1943 is too generalized and the symbols of residential houses are
displayed as monolithic blocks of buildings. In contrast to this, the map from 1981
