Summary/Abstract: The author deals with Croatian minority settlements in West Hungary on the base of original cadastre’s plans from 1857 (today in the Hungarian State Archives in Budapest). In particular, these plans show physical as well as social-geographic structure of mentioned settlements shortly after abolishing of the feudal system in 1848. Since the organization of these settlements was strongly influenced by feudal system, the mentioned plans from 1857 are very important sources, especially from the points of view of both, the economic and social history. These plans contain very abundant village’s microtoponimy written on Croatian language as well. Therefore, they are also important sources for our knowledge about ethnic structures of mentioned settlements in the middle of the eighteenth century.
