Relief shown by spot heights.
This economic map of the Democratic Republic of Georgia in French was produced in 1918, the year in which Georgia declared its independence from the Russian Empire under a social democratic government. The map shows the borders of the new republic with Circassia (the Mountainous Republic of the Northern Caucasus) in the north, Turkey and the Republic of Armenia in the south, and Azerbaijan in the southeast. Also shown are towns and villages, ports, railroads, and the ferries linking the Black Sea port of Batoum (present-day Batumi) to Odessa (present-day Ukraine) and Novorossiysk (present-day Russian Federation). Colors and shading are used to show the different agricultural regions in the country, which include pasturage, forested regions, regions of viniculture and orchards, areas of grain production, and areas of specialized cultivation. The latter (listed in the table at the lower left and identified by region) include a great variety of crops, for example, tobacco, tea, mulberries
