This is a list of resdients in Przybyszów, Poland taken from a map kindly shared with us by BT member Theresa T. The map is presumably from the early 1940s, although the heading is cropped so we can't be 100% sure.
Many BT members helped with transliterating names, translating words and puzzling out the mysteries in the maps.
The map is shown on two pages representing the northern and southern halves of the village. They're explained individually below.
Southern Half
The southern half of the map contains the partial heading "before the 1946 burning". I've added translations (in green) directly to the map. Don't take the word "mountain" too seriously; it probably means more like "large hill". The arrows indicate the direction that the water flows.
Please note that the map is oriented the opposite direction of most maps; the top of the map is south and the bottom is north.
Mysteries on this Map
- The stream/river flowing through this village is called the Прибишівка ("Pribishivka") on the map; on other maps it is called the Płonka. This is probably just a local variation.
- We on the BT list were unable to discern the signficance of the designation "на Перекопи" in the lower right. We can't even figure out if Перекопи refers to a place or a common noun. It looks like it is only referring to the road that leads into the northern part of the village.

Northern Half
The northern half of the map continues where the southern left off.
As with the other map, this one is oriented the opposite direction of most maps with south at the top and north at the bottom.
The word "Пилорама" (Pilorama) associated with the sawmill is probably just a business name.
Mysteries on this Map
- The road to Karlikiv (дорога на карликів) goes to the northwest; Karlikiv (now Karlików) was to the northeast of Przybyszów.

You might want to compare these maps with some other maps of the same area.
This map showing Przybyszów, Karlików Płonna and Rzepedż is from an 1877 Austro-Hungarian map at 1:75000 scale. (The source map is Lisko und Mezö Laborc.) It shows the location of the church and some elevation information which is what helped me to figure out the orientation of the maps described above.
This map showing only Przybyszów is from a 1938 Polish map at 1:100 000 scale. (The source map is P51 S34 LESKO.) The two mills are portrayed on this map as six-pointed stars; there's one right next to the church.
