Abstract: The aim of this paper is to examine the written narrative sources of European origin, containing information on natural conditions, territorial boundaries, cities and the administrative division of the Crimean Khanate. The research includes study of the travel notes and memoirs of travelers and diplomats, as well as the works of medieval chroniclers and historians. Despite of the often fragmentary and laconic nature of information contained, this category of sources can add  information to our understanding of the historical geography of the Crimean Khanate.

Keywords: historical geography, the Crimean Khanate, written sources, borders, administrative structure.
