There are fifteen uncataloged maps illustrating the distribution of animals and wildlife in Russia and the former Soviet Union. They range in date from 1896 to 1975. One of them, in addition to the beautifully drawn item from another repository appearing above, are described below.

Zoogeoraficheskaia uchebnaia karta SSSR. V. V. Eramkov, N. M. Buchonov, and M.M. Beliaev (Moscow, Russia : Geokartprom, 1928). Chromolithograph in two sections. Scale approximately 1:5,000,000. Filed under USSR/Russia -- Animals -- 1929 -- 1:5,000,000 -- Geokartprom; and under unverified call number G7001 .D4 1929 .G4

Finely illustrated zoogeographical education map of the U.S.S.R. from 1928. Depicts fauna across the Soviet Union, with common species highlighted for various geographical regions. The first section shows pictorial images of wildlife from European Russia (west of the Ural Mountains). It includes a table with numeric references by region that lists 236 species shown on the map. This section of the map contains several insets, which show animals and birds both useful and injurious to agriculture; the seasonal arrival to Moscow of select migratory birds (by month and day averaged over ten years); and the amount and value of key fur exports. Two additional graphs show both the growth of fur exports (in millions of rubles) and the percentage volume imported by country in the 1920s. It also has two pictorial insets for wildlife from the Caucasus region, in the high mountain ranges and in the forests. The second section features pictorial images of many well-known species, both terrestrial and maritime, from different parts of Siberia and the Russian Far East. This section contains two insets, one that shows hunting regions and the other the range of wildlife across the USSR. It also has two pictorial insets for wildlife from Kamchatka and Sakhalin Island. Includes booklet of text.

Although LC holds an original edition of the map, digital images of a better quality copy in the Russian State Library are available via the Library website.
