The article discusses selected terrain names in the district of Lubawa. The microtoponyms gathered are hydronyms, hill names, names of forests, fields and meadows. The names in the group of hydronyms come usually from appellatives connected with water (stream, bog, current). All the names of hills are semantically motivated. Names of forests describe their location, size or kinds of trees. Most terrain names refer to fields and meadows because the district of Lubawa and adjacent districts are agricultural ones. The names are semantically connected with the type and colour of soil, location or condition of fields and meadows. In the collected material there are one-word names, two-word names and prepositional phrases, e.g. Biele, Młyńska Struga, Nad Zogą.

As one could expect, the greatest number of the Baltic hydronyms and toponyms are featured in the northeastern part of the Mazovia region in the area of the confluence of the entire Narew and lower Bug. These are mainly names of rivers (35), less numerous are place names (24). The majority of these names is motivated by names featured in the area of historical Prussia and Yatvingia. Moreover, some of them even have direct equivalents in that region; references to the Lithuanian language are less common. This enables us to surmise that the prehistorical Mazovia region was inhabited by West Baltic people, and the Slavic colonizers reached this area in the late prehistorical period.

This article presents some cultural, historical and linguistic insights on the names of the Szczutowskie and Urszulewskie Lakes, both situated in the historical Dobrzyńskie Lakeland, today on the border between the Mazovian and Kuyavian-Pomeranian Voivodeships (the historical border between Polish and Prussian-Teutonic states). The author also takes into account the description of the local place and terrain names, showing a common relation with the natural landscape, in which the two lakes are immersed.

The subject of the study was an experiment to evaluate the ability to decode and locate toponyms and hydronymes on the map in dementia on vascular ethiopathogenesis. The experiment allowed to distinguish the levels of disturbances in the decoding ability of toponyms and hydronymes, depending on the depth of dementia. Dominant disturbances involve one component of visual-spatial gnosis - orientation on the map. The ability to correctly decode toponyms and hydronymes with distorted or abrogated mapping capabilities allows you to talk about a few independent paths for “searching” propria and their visual-spatial localization.
