1:25000
1:25000 (1 cm - 250 meters) maps of the Soviet Union (after 1945).
Dividing soviet maps in scale 1:50000 into 4 parts come a map in scale 1:25000. Name of maps in scale 1:25000 similar as name maps in scale 1:50000 - Cyrilic letters а, б, в, г (a, b, v, g) indicates position (quarter) of 1:25000 map into 1:50000 map. More (link). As example of name of 1:25000 map: N-34-12-A-a. Maps in scale 1:25000 have dimension 5′ latitude x 7′30” longitude (size of map approximately 37x33 cm, on Lithuania), each map in scale 1:25000 covers about 72-76 km2.
Soviet maps in scale 1:25000 were released in 2 different coordinates systems: 1942 y. c.s and 1963 y. c.s. (More about 1963 y. c.s there).

Till WWII maps in scale 1:25000 on territories of present Lithuania published: German topographers (Messtischblatt, TK25 - on territories of district Klaipėda/Memel), Polish topographers (Mapa szczegolowa 1:25000 - on territories of Vilnius/Wilno district), topographers of inter-war Lithuania (maps in scale 1:25000, middle Lithuania). Whole territory of Lithuania first covered soviet map in scale 1:25000, which was created and published by General Staff of Soviet army after WWII (1945-1952). Picture below shows year of creating (or survey) 1:25000 maps after WWII.

Soviet military topographers by creating 1:25000 maps used aeropicture and different sources to draw relief (every 5 m.): on Klaipėda district were used German maps (TK25), on territories of South and central Lithuania were used other old maps (Lithuanian 1:25000 maps... ), on part of Lithuania in 1949-1950 was made original survey. Original survey on whole Lithuania was finished only in 1959.
Maps in scale 1:25000 were updated differently: some maps (near see, border near Poland) were updated and republished 4-5 times, on east territories - 1-2 times.
Interesting that General Staff of Soviet army published 1:25000 maps only in 1942 y. c.s., civilian institutions after 1967 published 1:25000 maps in 1963 y. c.s. Content of both (1942 y. c.s and 1963 y. c.s.) maps was identical.
Second interesting fact that civilian and military institutions worked on 1:25000 parallel. Sometimes (it hapend often) content and principle of showing separate buildings, roads on civilian and military maps were not identic.
