Map shows Don Cossack territory and the expansion of Russia from 1533 to 1914.
Map also shows the Don and Volga rivers and some of the towns associated with
the history of Stenka Razin.
Map from: Rand McNally ATLAS OF WORLD HISTORY, 1965.
The green area (between the yellow and pink areas) includes the territory of the Don Cossacks.
The River VOLGA runs into the Caspian Sea near Astrakhan. The River Don runs into the Sea of Azov, to the North of the Black Sea.
The River Ilovlya (not shown) is a tributary of the Don, and flows from south of Saratov to join the Don at the first bend north-west
from Tsaritsyn, now Volgograd, formerly Stalingrad. (Grad = town).
Just north of Tsaritsyn, the Don and the Volga are fairly close together, in fact, a 60 mile long canal now joins the two
rivers south of Volgograd.
