In 1839, the topographic map Specialcharte von Livland was published by the Livonian Charitable and Economic Society (Livländische Gemeinnützige und Ökonomische Sozietät). In comparison to the previous topographic map of Livonia, the main topics of the new map were agriculture and trade—key sources of Livland’s economy. The idea of creating such a map reflects the thinking of early nineteenth-century Livland when science and methodological theory would determine the future measures to achieve prosperity for all. Georg Friedrich Parrot, the first secretary of the Livonian Charitable and Economic Society and later professor and Prorector of the University of Dorpat, was one of the central figures who represented Physiocratic and Cameralistic thinking and action. The map depicts Parrot’s agenda as a new perspective on Livland. Keywords: agriculture and trade, Livonian Charitable and Economic Society, Parrot, Physiocratic and Cameralistic ideas, topographic map, University of Dorpat
