I have a map of the Eastern part of Ukraine, which was apparently used in the ceasefire negotiations to define the borderline between the conflicting sides.
The full map: https://informnapalm.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/karta-polnayacc.jpg
The map is quite detailed but I could not find the type of projection it uses.
Moreover, it is difficult (though possible) to see the exact numbers.
However, there are some numbers.
- Coordinate
X
varies from7288000
to7612000
- Coordinate
Y
varies from6192000
to6608000
- The gap between meridians and parallels is equal to
4000
map units.
Coordinates X
and Y
should roughly correspond to
- Longitude
47.12°N
-49.65°N
- Latitude
36.15°E
-40.19°E
in WGS84 respectively (I used Google Maps).
The middle of the map is a city called Debaltseve located at 48.33°N
and 38.36°E
.
Although the headers are in Russian, the names of the places are in Ukrainian.
Thus, I thought that it is likely to be one of the Ukrainian projection systems. I tried to use the epsg.io website and play with the common Ukrainian projection systems it stores but every time I tried to transform the WGS84 coordinates into one of the Ukrainian projection systems, I got an error.
Could you suggest me what kind of projection system the map might use?
