Kizlyar
Kizlyar is an industrial, cultural, and transport center located in the estuary of the Terek River in northern Dagestan. It has been an important settlement since the 17th century, but gained city status in 1735 when a new fortress was built, establishing it as a multinational town and southern outpost of the Russian Empire. In the 18th century, Kizlyar developed as a center for ethnographic research and exploration of natural resources in the Caucasus region. The town endured great hardships during World War II but preserved cultural traditions and strengthened social bonds, developing new industries after the war to become a stable economic and political center of northern Dagestan.
Izberbash
The settlement of Izberbash in Dagestan, Russia originated in 1931 as a camp for oil workers developing nearby oil deposits. In 1949, it was granted town status. Today it is a multi-ethnic town of 40,000 people located 65km south of the capital Makhachkala. The name Izberbash comes from the Turkish word "izbar" meaning a mountain pass, which was changed by German engineers to "Izberg" and later to the current name by the local population. Izberbash has grown from marshes and swamps into a town with wide streets, trees, gardens, high-rise buildings, industrial enterprises, and cultural sites.
Letter from Baku
The document provides an overview of the city of Baku, Azerbaijan. It describes Baku as a city with contradictions, mixing both ultra-modern architecture and centuries-old historical sites. While Baku has a history of boom and bust cycles due to its oil wealth, it is currently experiencing a period of stability and prosperity through investments in infrastructure and efforts to host international sporting events. However, challenges remain, as critics point to Azerbaijan's authoritarian government and unresolved ethnic conflicts in the region.
Kizilyurt
Kizilyurt is located in Dagestan on the banks of the Sulak River. It is one of the youngest towns in Dagestan, originating in the 18th century when fortresses were built along the Sunzha, Terek, and Sulak Rivers. One such fortress at the point where the Sulak River flows from the mountains onto the plains helped establish the new town of Kizilyurt. The population was originally very poor and engaged in farming and cattle herding, but irrigation projects, utilities, and industrialization in the late 20th century transformed Kizilyurt into a modern town with developed infrastructure.
Derbent
Derbent, located on the Caspian Sea coast of Dagestan, is the oldest city in the region, dating back over 5,000 years. It sits in a narrow seaside valley between the mountains and the sea, forming a strategic location.

A citadel called Narynkala was built in the 6th century AD atop a hill near the mountains and walls, with defenses extending into the sea and mountains to block nomadic tribes. Today, Derbent remains an economic and cultural center of Southern Dagestan, known for its vit

Sawmills in Hammonds Plains
The mills of Hammonds Plains played an important role in the area's history from the early 1800s to the mid-1900s. Originally, lumbering and the transportation of logs to Halifax via rivers was the main economic activity. Over time, numerous small mills were established powered by local water sources. In the late 1800s, mills produced lumber and goods like barrels. By the early 1900s, over 18 mills operated in Hammonds Plains. Families like Hays, Moran, and Wright established large mills employing many. As technology advanced, the industry declined after World War 2 due to less emphasis on wood. The last mills closed in the 1990s, marking the end of an era defined by over 200 years of mill operation
History of Mills in Hammonds Plains
The document discusses the history of the forest industry and lumber mills in Hammonds Plains, Nova Scotia from the late 1700s to 1990s.

The lumbering industry grew throughout the 1800s as more settlers built mills. At its peak in the early 1900s, there were over 18 mills operating powered by water wheels, then later electricity and gasoline. The lumber industry declined after World War 2 as wood products demand lessened. The last mills closed in the 1960s-1990s as the industry became a thing of the

The document provides information about Bannack, Montana as a potential filming location to represent Inverness in a film adaptation of Macbeth. Bannack is an old, abandoned gold mining town that resembles the descriptions of the depleted village of Inverness in the Macbeth script. The document describes the layout and buildings of Bannack, including the wooden chapel and central pavilion, and notes that crosses mark the graves on the outskirts of the village, matching details from the Inverness descriptions. Overall, the document argues that Bannack's eerie atmosphere as a forgotten town makes it a suitable stand-in for the setting of Inverness in the script.

1794 map
- 4. "In 1794 a map or plan of the Town was made from a survey by Frederick French. From this map it appears that there were at that time two sawmills and one corn- mill on the Merrimack river at Pawtucket falls; one sawmill and one set of iron-works on Concord river near its mouth; one sawmill on the canal near where it emptied into the Concord river; one clothier's mill; one saw- and grist-mill upon River Meadow brook: these were all within the limits of the present City of Lowell. A grist-mill and sawmill are shown upon Stony brook, at what is now North Chelmsford; a grist-mill on Beaver brook at the centre of the Town, and one on Great brook (then the Adams mill).
