The "Eastern Siberia. Kamchatka, Yakutia, Chukotka, Khabarovsk. Russia, 1848" it's a historical map published by the Society for the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge (SDUK) in 1848. The SDUK was a British organization that aimed to spread useful and practical information to the general public through various means, including maps.

The map depict the region of Eastern Siberia, which is located in the northeastern part of Russia. It covers a vast and remote area, including the Kamchatka Peninsula, Yakutia (also known as the Sakha Republic), Chukotka Autonomous Okrug, and Khabarovsk Krai. These regions are known for their harsh climates, vast expanses of wilderness, and unique indigenous cultures.

It may have also included notes and information about the various ethnic groups, trading routes, and natural resources of the area.

The Society for the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge (SDUK) was a British organization founded in 1826 with the primary goal of disseminating practical and useful information to the general public. It was established during a time when education and access to knowledge were limited to the privileged few, and the SDUK aimed to bridge this gap by making knowledge more accessible to a wider audience.

The founders of the SDUK included notable intellectuals and reformers of the time, such as Henry Brougham, Lord Chancellor of England, and Sir Francis Palgrave, a historian and antiquary. They were motivated by the belief that education and knowledge were key to societal progress and improvement.

The SDUK employed various means to achieve its mission, but one of its most significant contributions was the publication of maps, atlases, and books on a wide range of topics. They created maps of different regions of the world, which were known for their accuracy, detail, and educational value. These maps often featured up-to-date geographical information, political boundaries, and other essential data.
