A "Verst," since the time of Peter the Great, in the early 18th century = 500 sazhen. This makes a verst equal to 1.0668
kilometers (0.6629 miles; 3,500 feet. Peter redefined it against the Englsih system, and used Arabic numerals. The
measurement was abandoned July 21, 1925

(From www.maps4U.lt:) Maps of Russian Empire in scale 1:42 000 (one verst per inch) were originally named Одноверстовая карта западного пограничного пространства (1-
verst maps of west border space) and were prepared and published 1880 to WW I. Red Army topographers republished them, with some updates, until 1940. Such maps were assembled from four double
reduced photocopies of half-verst (1: 21 000) maps. The contents of half-verst and one-verst maps differ only in font size and line thickness. Initially, maps were printed in black and white, but later editions,
especially the eastern sheets, were printed in four colors. One-verst maps have Roman and Arabic numerals: the Roman numeral is latitude, the Arabic number is the position of the sheet in the row. The sheet is
named for the largest settlement within the area depicted. The frames of these maps specify the year of the initial survey and the update. Maps from the US Library of Congress via www.mapywig.org
