Summary:The study aims to reveal the importance of the role of cartographic representation of the history of Bessarabia, presenting an insight into the historiography of the problem of the territorial-administrative and demographic evolution of Bessarabia, with the emphasis on the fact that monograph studies and research so far are weak or not at all accompanied by thematic maps. At the same time, are analyzed the cartographic elaborations of the nineteenth century – the early of the twentieth century, in which, in whole or in part, Bassarabia is represented in the chronological segment 1812–1918. The authors, organizing the sources of the era and the historiographical contributions, elaborated 17 maps illustrating the territorial-administrative evolution and 8 maps showing some demographic problems of Bessarabia between 1812–1918 which along with other 25 maps were summed up in the illustrated Ethno-historical Atlas of Bessarabia (1812–1918).
