As published at the time of this map, c.1920:

Russia opened her campaigns on the eastern front with a pronounced salient - Poland - thrust far in to the heart of the Central Empires. To the north of Poland lay East Prussia, of which the southern strip is a difficult country of hill and marsh, the Masurian Lakes region. To the south lay Austrian Galicia, most of which slopes downwards towards Poland, so that many rivers flow to the north or north-east from the Carpathian mountains. Across the plain of Poland the Vistula flows in a natural trench to enter Prussia between Wloclawek and Thorn.
