Abstract
The paper presents, in the form of cartographic supplements, the results of geoinformational reconstruction of the Sava River course in the wider area of Zagreb during the 18th and 19th centuries based on maps of the Habsburg Monarchy. By comparing the obtained results with the present state, both natural (resulting from hydrographic and morphological actions of the river) and anthropogenic changes in the Sava River course are examined. Eight examples are highlighted that illustrate these changes – whether they are clearly visible today (such as the position of roads and settlements) or hidden, absorbed by the urban development of Zagreb to a greater or lesser extent (primarily along the right riverbank).
