The Ethnographic map of the Dagestan region, created in 1895 by Elisey Isidorovich Kondratenko, a Russian lieutenant-general and researcher, stands as one of the earliest and most comprehensive representations of the Caucasian area's ethnic distribution. This historical cartographic masterpiece portrays the boundaries of counties, police areas, and rural communities, providing a comprehensive understanding of the region's administrative divisions.

The map showcases the intricate ethnic tapestry of the Dagestan region in 1895, identifying a remarkable total of 30 distinct ethnic groups. The Avars constitute the largest segment of the population at 28%, followed by the Dargins at 22%, Kumyks at 15%, Lezgins at 12%, and Chechens at 9%.

Originally published in the renowned Kavkazsky Kalendar', a Russian annual almanac, this map served a crucial purpose for the administrators of the time. Its meticulous detailing of the ethnic makeup of the Dagestan region offered valuable insights for effective governance and decision-making. Furthermore, scholars and researchers have extensively relied on this map to delve into the rich history and culture of the Caucasus.

This historical artifact remains a valuable document, shedding light on the ethnic diversity that characterized the Dagestan region during the late 19th century. Additionally, it stands as a poignant reminder of Russia's longstanding involvement in the intricacies of the Caucasus.
