This is a 1788 Francois Joseph Maire map of southern Ukraine and Crimea during the first year of the Russo-Turkish War of 1787 - 1792. Depicting the region east of Odessa, the map stretches from the Gulf of Berezan to the Inhulets (Inguol) River and from Bessarabia to the Black Sea. The mouth of the Dnieper River is illustrated just to the right of center, and Russian military encampments are illustrated just up the river around Kherson (Cherson). Numerous depth soundings are noted near the river's mouth and up its course to Kherson. Depth soundings are also present in Dniprovs'ka Gulf (Golfe ou Liman). Two roads are illustrated on the Kinburn (Kinbourne) Peninsula that connect the Kinburn Fortress to a port on the Dnieper. The modern-day cities of Kherson (Cherson) and Ochakiv (Okzakow ou Otchakof) are labeled. (more details)
