Sažetak
In the paper, the author considers the graphical depictions of the Lastovo Island karst fields on older and newer topographic maps (1:25, 000) from the 19th and 20th centuries. The Lastovo is the sixteenth by area, and eighteenth by population among Croatian islands (2011).It belongs to the South Dalmatian islands within the Dubrovnik-Neretva County (Adriatic Croatia) and, including associated islands and islets, it makes a separate municipality covering 56.00 km2 (Lastovo itself 40.82 km2) with 792 residents (2011). The carbonate relief with many karstic forms (hills, abyss, cliffs, rocks, karst fields, caves etc.) prevails. Although relatively small, the fields have been an important geomorphologic phenomena in the karst relief of Lastovo and since ancient times they had great importance for settling, living and surviving the inhabitants of its settlements. On the Lastovo, there are more than forty small karst fields (Vino polje, Nižno polje, Jurjev do, Šupalj do or Šipanj do), Zle polje, Žegovo polje, Dubrava—Lokavje—Ždrijelo— Peržina, Hrastovo polje, Bozonji do, Volji dolac, Uresovi dolac, Duboke, Prgovo, »uËa(l)j do, Barje, Kal, Kosovo, Udovin do, Velja lokva, Vrsej (Uresovi) dolac, (U)Dovin do, Studenac, Poljice, Kruševa njiva, Gornji Portorus, Portorus, Dosibje do, Radaš do, Veliko dolce, Malo dolce, Pršnaš do, Zle polje (Ubli) and some quite small ones. Regardless of their importance, they are depicted rarely on topographic maps, except in those of 1:25, 000, from the Habsburg Empire (1869—1887) — Third Military Survey 1:25, 000 to the contemporary topographic Croatian DGU maps with multiple field markings.Special considerations are given to the field names, the visualization of the objects and the contents within the fields (cultivated areas, culture, appearance of water, drywall, constructed objects, etc.), to the hipsographic features, contact zones around the fields features, belonging to settlements on the island and so forth.
