Mapping Crimean Tatar national schools

                                              Thanks, Wikipedia!

In spite of my self-professed love of maps, I only recently mapped out all of the 16 Crimean Tatar national schools on the peninsula.  The map shows something quite interesting - these schools are truly spread throughout the Crimean Peninsula.  Not a single city or village - even Simferopol itself, has more than one of these schools.  Some of them are quite remote, and only a few of them are in larger towns and cities.  On the map below they are highlighted in blue and outlined in black.




There are 16 schools in all, with anywhere from 33 to 403 students.

A few of the schools are in cities (100,000-500,000):
Simferopol, Evpatoria
Larger towns (10,000 - 50,000):
Bakhchisarayi, Sudak, Stari Krim
Smaller towns (2,000+) :
Zuya, Sovietskii, Oktyabrskaye
and villages (less than 2,000):
Viktorovka, Annovka, Vikino, Sari Su, Maiskaye, Zarechnaye, Kolchugino, and Sari Bash.

Two of these villages - Sari-Su and Sari-Bash, were not on either of my maps.
