The
occupation of Finland and the Great Hate ended the mapping of Central Finland,
which had begun so promisingly. But relatively quickly after the peace of
Uusikaupunki (1721) work was resumed. In 1725 the surveyors of the area
were Johan Vettervik in Keuruu and Adam Giöker in Laukaa, making maps
of areas which had been included on maps before. In the same year Vettervik
made maps of the estates of Sinervämäki in Multia. Local maps
worth mentioning also include the maps of Niemisjärvi in Hankasalmi
(1734), Jyväskylä (1734), Leppävesi in Laukaa (1734) and
Sumiainen (1734). During the following decades maps were made of most villages
and houses. The oldest map of the town of Jyväskylä dates from
1833, the year when the town was founded.
