A bit of history

Before the 1917 revolution Crimean peninsula was part of the Taurida province, it housed 5 out of 8 counties: Evpatoria, Perekop, Simferopol, Feodosia and Yalta, as well as 2 townships - Kerch-Yenikali and Sevastopol.

In the period from the end of 1917 to the end of 1920, Crimea passed "from hand to hand" (Muslims, "Reds", Germans, Ukrainians, again "Reds", "Whites", and again "Reds"). After the final establishment of Soviet power in the Crimea, 2 new counties were formed - Sevastopol (December 15, 1920) and Kerch (December 25, 1920).

On January 8, 1921, the division of counties into volosts was abolished. Instead, a county-district system was created. In the Dzhankoy (former Perekop) district, the Armenian and Dzhankoy regions were formed; in Kerch - Kerch and Petrovsky; in Sevastopol - Sevastopol and Bakhchisaray; in Simferopol - Biyuk-Onlar, Karasubazar, Sarabuz and Simferopol; in Feodosia - Ichkinsky, Old Crimean, Sudak and Feodosia; in Yalta - Alushta and Yalta.
Crimean ASSR

On October 18, 1921, by a decree of the All-Russian Central Executive Committee and the Council of People's Commissars of the RSFSR, the Tauride Governorate of the RSFSR was transformed into the Crimean Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic, which was divided into 7 districts (former districts), which, in turn, were divided into 20 districts.

In November 1923, the districts were abolished and 15 districts were created instead of them: Ak-Mechetsky, Alushta, Armenian, Bakhchisaray, Dzhankoy, Evpatoria, Kerch, Karasubazar, Sarabuz, Sevastopol, Simferopol, Staro-Krymsky, Sudaksky, Feodosia and Yalta. However, already in 1924, the Ak-Mechet, Alushta, Armenian, Sarabuz and Staro-Krymsky regions were abolished.

On October 15, 1930, instead of 10 districts, 16 districts were created: Ak-Mechetsky, Alushta, Balaklava, Bakhchisarai, Biyuk-Onlarsky, Dzhankoysky, Evpatoria, Ishunsky, Karasubazarsky, Leninsky, Seytlersky, Simferopolsky, Staro-Krymsky, Sudaksky, Feodosia and Yalta. The cities of Kerch, Sevastopol, Simferopol and Feodosia were under republican subordination.

In 1935, 10 new districts were formed: Ak-Sheikhsky, Ichkinsky, Kirovsky, Kolaisky, Kuibyshevsky, Larindorfsky, Mayak-Salynsky, Saksky, Telmansky and Freidorfsky. Feodosia region was abolished. In 1937, the Zuysky district was formed.

Some districts had a national status: Balaklava, Kuibyshevsky, Bakhchisaray, Yalta, Alushta, Sudak - Crimean Tatar, Freidorf and Larindorf - Jewish, Buyuk-Onlar and Telman - German, Ishunsky (later Krasnoperekopsky) - Ukrainian. By the beginning of the Great Patriotic War, all districts lost their national status (in 1938 - German, in 1939 - Jewish, then all the rest).

On the map, the Crimean Tatar regions are highlighted in turquoise, Jewish - in blue, German - in orange, Ukrainian - in yellow, mixed regions - in pink.

In 2014, territories with settlements subordinate to the city councils of cities of republican subordination received the status of municipalities as urban districts.

Crimea is popular place rest in summer time, the map of which thousands of people are looking for. The site administration has prepared all kinds of maps for review. To say that the Crimean peninsula is unique is to say nothing. Crimea is Europe in miniature, all kinds of landscapes are collected here - high mountain ranges and deep canyons, beautiful azure beaches and endless steppes, quiet sea shores, and noisy river waterfalls. Crimea is called the pearl of Europe and for good reason - it is a place of unique cultural and historical value, a true Mecca for all types of tourism. And the wonderful mild climate allows you to visit the Crimea both in summer and in the cold season. It is impossible to get to know Crimea in one visit, you need to visit here again and again, each time discovering new places.

Detailed tourist map Crimea

Gathered on a tour trip to rest in the Crimea? Then this card is best suited for movement. There is an alphabetical list of all settlements with a search by the squares of the map.

The uniqueness of the Crimean peninsula partly lies in its unique climate. Although the peninsula is not large, the climatic zones here are very diverse. Surprisingly, with an area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe peninsula of 27 thousand square kilometers, there are as many as three climatic macroregions. This is not counting that there are up to 20 sub-regions here! The secret of this phenomenon is the combination of various relief formations, the fact that the peninsula is washed by two seas, the presence of bays, and also the fact that its borders encircle high mountains. Basically, the climatic zones are divided into three main relief units of the peninsula - the steppe, mountain, and southern embankment zone.

A feature of the region is the presence of areas where it is especially warm in winter. At the same time, it is phenomenal that if, for example, in Yalta and Melitopol in summer the temperature spread is only 1 degree, in winter the temperature difference can reach 11 degrees! This is precisely due to the landscape, the Crimean mountains in this case protect Yalta from continental winds. The warmest of all, of course, is on the southern coast of Crimea, here the mild weather is due to the proximity of the sea. The most severe, in terms of cold weather, are the Crimean mountains, the peaks of which remain cold even in summer. The warmest place in Crimea is Miskhor. average temperature in January it is +4.4 degrees, and the average annual temperature is almost 14 degrees. Thus, the Crimea remains an attractive holiday destination for tourists even in winter, they come here for the Christmas holidays, or for winter holidays. Map of Crimean regions:

Crimean mountains- silent giants who keep the secrets of history

The mountains divide the Crimean peninsula into two parts: most of it is steppe, and actually the mountainous part. The mountains stretch from the northeastern to the southwestern part of the peninsula, from Sevastopol to Feodosia, forming three parallel mountain ranges, which, in turn, are separated by beautiful green plains. The length of the mountains is almost 200 kilometers, the width is about 50 kilometers. The main ridge has the highest mountain height, it includes such giants as Roman-Kosh, with a height of more than one and a half kilometers, Chatyrdok, whose height is 1525 meters (which is only 20 meters less than the height of Roman-Kosh mountain), and Ai-Petri , whose height is 1231 meters. The southern slopes of the Main Range are steep, while the northern slopes are gentle.

The peaks of the Crimean mountains without forests form plateaus, which are called "yayls". From the Turkic word "yayl" is translated as "summer pasture". Yayly combine the properties of mountains and plains, they are connected by narrow ridges with mountain passes. Since ancient times, paths from the Crimean steppe to the South coast passed in these places.

For centuries, the Yayla were washed away by rainwater, the streams of which dotted the mountains with numerous passages, forming beautiful caves, mines and wells.

Behind the Main Ridge is the Inner Ridge. It is significantly lower highest point the inner ridge is Mount Kubalich, its height is less than 750 meters. The inner ridge extends from the Mekenziev mountains to Mount Agarmysh. The length of this ridge is 125 kilometers.

The third row of the Crimean mountains is called the Northern Ridge. This mountain range the lowest, its height reaches only 340 meters. This ridge is also called foothills. The southern slopes of the northern ridge are steep, while the northern ones are gentle, smoothly turning into plains. The Crimean mountains are an excellent place for mountain tourism, hiking, rock climbing. Well-established infrastructure allows you to organize a comprehensive, high-grade rest, useful for health.

Steppes of Crimea- fertile fields and mud volcanoes. If the mountains are located on only 20 percent of the peninsula, then the steppe occupies about 70 percent of the entire territory of Crimea. The Crimean steppe is the southern outskirts of the East European Plain. It is almost completely located on the same level, only slightly lowering in the north. On the Kerch Peninsula, the steppe is divided by the Parpach ridge, here the southwestern part is flat, and the northeastern part is hilly. The famous mud hills and coastal lake basins are located in this zone. There are unique mud volcanoes here (these volcanoes are not related to real volcanoes, because they erupt cold mud instead of red-hot lava).

flat part The Crimean steppe consists of southern chernozems, unusually fertile, from which more than half of the territory is occupied by arable land, the rest of the forest and pastures, and only less than 5% of the steppe is occupied by vineyards and garden plots.

Basis of green tourism- Crimean forests. It is naive to believe that the Crimea is an arid bare steppe. Almost 350 thousand hectares of the peninsula are occupied by forests. Oaks grow predominantly on the slopes of the mountains, here they make up about 65% of all trees (while pine trees account for less than 15%). The legendary juniper and evergreen small-fruited strawberries grow on the South Shore. Here you can find pistachios, pontic needle, cistus, pyracantha, shrub jasmine, and many other plants that are hard to find on the mainland of Ukraine.

Diversity of Crimean water resources. There are more than one and a half thousand rivers and drains on the Crimean peninsula. Total length water flows almost 6 thousand kilometers. At the same time, it should be noted that most of them are small streams that dry up in summer. It is surprising that there are only 257 rivers that are more than 5 kilometers long on the peninsula.

The main rivers of the peninsula are divided into the following groups:

1. Rivers of the northern slope of the Crimean mountains. Here is the famous Salgir, the longest Crimean river, its length is 232 kilometers. The remaining rivers of the northern slope are much shorter, for example, Wet Indole - only 27 kilometers, Churuksu - 33 kilometers.
2. Rivers of the northwestern slope. Here is the longest river Alma, its length is 84 kilometers. Other rivers (Chernaya, Belbek, Kacha, Western Bulganok) are a little shorter.
3. Rivers South Shore Crimea. There are mostly small water flows here, for example, the length of the Uchan-Su River is only 8.4 kilometers, Demerdzhi - 14, and Derekoika - 12 kilometers.

An amazing fact: the rivers of the northwestern slopes are located almost in parallel, and half of their path is mountain streams. Rivers northern slopes that flow across the plain flow into the Sivash. On the southern coast - short rivers are entirely mountain streams, they all flow into the Black Sea. The Wuchang-Su River is unique here; on its short path it forms four beautiful waterfalls.

The reason for the poor development of river waters on the peninsula is that the main source of rivers is rain. Rainwater feeds the rivers of Crimea by almost 50 percent, while groundwater gives the rivers only 30 percent of their water potential. The rest is snowmelt. The groundwater potential of Crimea barely exceeds a billion cubic meters, for comparison, from Ukraine annually three times more water is supplied to the peninsula. 20 reservoirs and more than a hundred ponds help control groundwater. The North Crimean Canal from Ukraine delivers 3.5 billion cubic meters of water to Crimea, this is the main water source for agriculture. If not for this water source, then the arid Crimean steppe could not be fertile. (for comparison, in 1937 there were 35 thousand hectares of irrigated land, and in 1994 more than 10 times more - 400 thousand).

Of course, speaking of water resources, one cannot fail to mention lakes-estuaries, valuable healing springs salt water. In total, there are more than 50 such lakes on the territory of Crimea, their total area exceeds 5 thousand square kilometers. Salt and therapeutic mud are obtained here. The most famous such lake is Sakskoye, but you can also visit Sasyk, Donuzlav, Bakal, Krasnoye or Aktashskoye lake.

Outcome: In Crimea, you can find absolutely everything on the maps, and even more. Rest for the purpose of treatment, winter and summer holidays, extreme tourism, hiking and cycling, wine tourism, rock climbing - here you can find a vacation for every taste and budget. The unique climate and atmosphere of these places will make you come here again and again.

Decree of February 2, 1784. The Tauride region was formed, which included the Crimea, part of the Northern Black Sea region and the Taman Peninsula.

February 8, 1784 Crimea is divided into 4 counties: Simferopol, Levkopol, Evpatoria, Perekop.

During the period from 1783 to 1917, the ATD of Crimea was transformed as part of the Taurida province Russian Empire. Since the end of 1920, after the final consolidation of Soviet power in the Crimea, the closest to modern changes in the structure and composition of the ATD of Crimea began.

After the end of the Great Patriotic War in June 1945, the Crimean ASSR was renamed the Crimean Region. At that time, it consisted of 32 ATEs (26 districts and 6 cities of regional significance).

Since 1948, the process of enlargement of the administrative-territorial division of Crimea has been going on. By December 1962, the Crimean region consisted of only 10 rural areas: Alushta, Bakhchisarai, Belogorsky, Dzhankoysky, Evpatoria, Krasnogvardeysky and Krasnoperekopsky, Leninsky, Nizhnegorsky and Chernomorsky (Figure 2).

In 1993, Armyansk received the status of a city of republican subordination. And in 1994 Crimea became an Autonomous Republic. From that moment on, the modern administrative-territorial division of Crimea was fixed.

As part of Ukraine, being an Autonomous Republic, Crimea had the following administrative-territorial division (Figure 3). The ARC consisted of 25 regions:

• · 14 districts with a predominantly rural population and a center that is an urban-type settlement (which had the status of an urban settlement);

Figure 3. - Administrative-territorial division of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea (2013)

In connection with the accession in 2014 of the Crimea to Russian Federation as its full-fledged subject, ATD has undergone some changes related to the already existing Russian legislative framework in this area.

According to the Law of the Republic of Crimea dated June 6, 2014 No. 18-ZRK "On the administrative-territorial structure of the Republic of Crimea" article 2, the administrative-territorial structure of the Republic of Kazakhstan is carried out on the following principles:

• 2) the city of republican significance Alushta with its subordinate territory;
• 3) the city of republican significance Armyansk with its subordinate territory;
• 4) the city of republican significance Dzhankoy with its subordinate territory;
• 5) the city of republican significance Evpatoria with its subordinate territory;
• 6) the city of republican significance Kerch with its subordinate territory;
• 7) the city of republican significance Krasnoperekopsk with its subordinate territory;

That is, there have been some qualitative changes in the ATD. The adjacent territories of cities of republican significance with located on them settlements became urban districts (municipalities). Urban-type settlements that previously had the status of urban settlements were transformed into rural settlements, which in turn led to a reduction in the overall level of urbanization in the Republic of Crimea.

Most of the territory of the peninsula is the North Crimean Plain. On the Kerch Peninsula - in the easternmost part of Crimea - there are hilly plains with a little more O higher altitude above sea level. The southern part of the peninsula, bordering the Black Sea, is the so-called Mountainous Crimea.

The Crimean ridge is part of the Alpine fold. High mountain ranges here are interspersed with longitudinal plains, in which the main tourist cities are located on the map of Crimea with areas - Yalta, Sudak, Koktebel, Gurzuf and others.

How to get to the Crimean peninsula

On satellite map Crimea, you can see that the peninsula has a developed system of transport - air, rail, road, sea.

The only civilian airport is located in the capital of the republic - the city of Simferopol. It serves about five million passengers annually.

After the annexation of Crimea to Russia in 2014, the railway communication with the peninsula, which went through the territory of Ukraine, was terminated. A bridge is currently under construction across the Kerch Strait, which will connect Crimea with the mainland by rail and road.

In the meantime, an important transport artery remains ferry crossing through this strait. Every year it serves almost as many passengers as the airport.

An extensive network passes through the territory of the peninsula. highways that link the main tourist centers- Kerch, Simferopol, Sevastopol, Bakhchisaray, beach towns on the coast.

In addition, the world's longest trolleybus line is located in Crimea, connecting Simferopol with the resorts of the South Coast. The length of this line is almost 100 kilometers.

Crimea on the map of Russia with cities and towns

The Crimean peninsula occupies a prominent place on the map of Russia. The resorts of the South Coast and other tourist areas of the peninsula are annually visited by millions of tourists.

The first place in popularity among the Crimean resort towns is rightfully occupied by Yalta, which is called the “Russian Nice”. The second is the hero city of Sevastopol. Closes the top three leaders of Feodosia - a resort east coast. The top five also includes Alushta and Evpatoria.
