Summary/Abstract: Analyzing some medieval documents from mid 1 th to mid 1 th century, that cover today’s Moslavina region, I have established that, beside water streams, military strongholds and roads, forest and trees were important markings (landmarks) in setting up boundaries of an estate. Trees were marked down in different ways, and several variations of a name existed (Latin, Hungarian and Slavic names). However, Hungarian names were prevailing there, probably due to Hungarian origin of the persons making the annotations.
