• The historical variations in distribution of the bobak marmot ( Marmota bobak Müll.) across the Russian Plain continue to attract the attention of specialists. The available studies largely report data with respect to locations of encounters with the bobak marmot during a particular time period in the form of narrative descriptions, which seriously hampers the perception and analysis of this material. The only solution to the problem is the use of modern mapping techniques. This work summarizes the available data on the historical distribution of the bobak marmot in a cartographic form with the current GIS technologies. Subsequent analysis of the findings could substantially contribute to clarify details on the distributional patterns of the bobak marmot on the Russian Plain over the historical period, in particular, those in connection with natural features of habitats preferred by the marmot.
