Growth of the Volga delta in the past 100 years. Comparative maps show how the delta has grown unevenly over time (from west to east), and the relative position of the shoreline. Base maps shown from left to right: ca. 1880 map (from Comprehensive Atlas and Geography of the World, 1882); 1920 map (from Figure 12.3), ca. 1991 map (from Figure 12.2). The nineteenth-century delta (blue) and the delta growth by 1920 (red) are highlighted and superimposed to facilitate comparisons.
