It is interesting: first edition of Urmesstischblatts covered only coast of Baltic see of present Lithuania (from Nemirseta till Nida), maps were based on triangulation (y.1830), second edition of Urmesstischblats covered whole Klaipėda (Memel) district. On these maps we can find invaluable historic, ethnographic information.
