The specific topic that resulted with graduate thesis are the depictions of Babindub on old maps. From administrative and territorial aspect the settlement of Babindub belongs to the City of Zadar and covers an area of 5.37 km². According to the 2011. population census, it has 31 inhabitants. The history and geography of Babindub has been scarcely explored. Previous research about Babindub is largely based on resources that focused on ecclesiastical history. The specific objective of this paper is to deepen and expand insights into Babindub. Based on existing resources and analysis of cartographic sources, the paper strives to present the spatial extent of Babindub and describe the development of its cultural landscape. Moreover, the paper points out its important strategic role, as well as its role from the aspect of traffic. Both interview method and field observation method were used troughout the research. Babindub inhabitants were interviewed about their knowledge about the settlement they live in and several facilities within the settlement were photographed. The focus was primarily on old cadastral and topographic maps on which Babindub had been shown. Upon analysis of cartographic sources a conclusion was reached that traffic connections with the city of Zadar were the original reason for its being shown on maps. According to historical sources, geographic data and old cartographic depictions, it is evident that the incidence and quality of depictions of Babindub depended on the scale and the purpose of maps, as well as on the size and significance of the settlement in question. Its geographic name changed under the influence of political circumstances or linguistic environment in which the specific map was created (Venetian, Austrian, Croatian and Italian).
