The main topic of the presented study is the analysis and localization of old terrain names of hills, valleys of streams and meadows belonging to the Horehronie area in the 16th century which reflected the economic activity of man. Traces of historical reality captured in historical toponymy may help complete the picture of Horehronie's economic history in the early modern period. During that period, this region was a quite economically developed part of the monarchy due to the mining of precious metals, the center of which was the town of Brezno. The individual toponyms are classified according to type of economic activity: mining, technical equipment, road network, agriculture, pastoralism and hunting.
