Extractions: Courland Geography and Natural History Geography and Climate There are 4 historic regions that make up modern day Latvia: North of the western Daugava (Dvina) river are Vidzeme and Latgale, which together formed Livonia . The ancient Duchy of Courland lies south of the Daugava and included the areas known as Kurzeme and Zemgale. The area of Courland also comprised the Bishopric of Pilten with its administrative centre of Hasenpoth. Each of these areas, Livonia, Courland and Pilten, pursued different policies with regard to the Jews within their territory. Courland was primarily an agricultural wooded lowland, presenting few barriers to invasion save the tall stands of pine forest and the occasional rise of the land. The total area of Courland comprised approximately 27,000 square kilometres (10,500 square miles), approximately 60% of which was covered in forests. Flax is the principal field crop and Jews were known to have been involved in its production and commercial sale, often acting as middlemen for the large estate owners wishing to sell their crop from the Baltic ports. Similarly, logging and shipbuilding were important traditional industries in which the geography of the country played an important part. 10% of the land consists of peat bogs and wet land. Courland has its share of Latvia's 2,300 lakes and 12,000 rivers. The summers are hot and humid, the winters wet and windy with snow. The wind remains a feature of the low landscape and there were few natural features to stop the wind from the north and eastern steppes of Russia. Libau (now Liepaja) has traditionally been known as "the place where the wind was born". The key Baltic ports of Libau and Windau (now Ventspils) are ice-free throughout the winter, a fact that was critical to Courland's commercial success.
